💎 Why we love it ?

It’s not easy to reach the hidden beauties of Kaçkar Mountain. Most tourists just focus on popular destinations such as Uzungol and Ayder but they miss the hidden parts up to the Kaçkar Mountain. With our Explore Kaçkar Mountain, you will be able to explore Kaçkars in depth. With this tour, you will both cover the most popular destinations in the Black Sea region and also reach up to the Kaçkar summit by hiking. You need to love hiking if you want this tour since it includes long hiking routes that are easy and safe.
