Description

Begin your journey with a comfortable pickup from your accommodation in Podgorica. As you leave the city behind, ascend into the peaceful highlands, where the landscape expands into wide, magnificent vistas. Explore scenic ridges that offer extraordinary views of Skadar Lake, the Bjelopavlići Plain, the Zeta River, the Cijevna Canyon, and the distant Albanian peaks. These viewpoints reveal the raw, untouched nature of Montenegro’s inland region and create the perfect beginning for a day dedicated to mountain beauty. As the road winds deeper into the highlands, each turn reveals a new dimension of Montenegro’s dramatic topography. The Prokletije range, often described as the Balkan Alps, dominates the horizon with its sharp, powerful forms. From several natural vantage points, the contrast between green valleys, rocky cliffs, and distant mountain chains becomes truly magnificent. This part of the tour offers time to enjoy the silence, take photographs, and feel the vastness of the surrounding wilderness. Next, visit a small family-run goat farm hidden between mountain slopes and old villages. Interact with the goats and shepherds, and learn how families in this region have lived for generations. This encounter provides a warm, authentic insight into traditional pastoral life: modest, organic, and deeply connected to nature. It is a moment of sincerity and simplicity that many guests find unforgettable. After the farm visit, head to Bukumirsko Lake, a quiet mountain lake surrounded by green ridges and stone formations. Its serene appearance hides a beautiful local legend, shared by the guide while guests enjoy the calm, mirror-like surface of the water and the clean mountain air. Bukumirsko Lake is one of Montenegro’s most enchanting natural treasures and a highlight of this excursion for those who appreciate untouched landscapes and peaceful, remote locations. The final part of the experience takes place in a traditional stone house belonging to a local family. Here, enjoy an organic tasting session featuring homemade juices, freshly prepared kačamak, local cheeses, honey, and other seasonal products sourced directly from the surrounding farms. The atmosphere is rustic and intimate, preserving the feeling of old Montenegrin hospitality and showcasing the true essence of mountain cuisine.
