Shepherd. Three day adventure in the heart of the nature

Itinerary

This travel will allow you to experience the proper local way of life where you will visit remote villages, the wildness of their mountains, colorful alpine meadows, rivers and join a seasonal transhumance. We will sleep near shepherd’s hut (Stan, in native language), where they hold their huge herds of sheep and goats. They will stay there a few short months, from May to September. Transhumance encompasses a vast system of knowledge and practices relating to: grazing practices, animal care and husbandry, the natural environment (soil, pastures, plant species, weather, and biodiversity); as well as the making of by-products such as milk, cheese, butter, ricotta-like cheeses, and leather goods, meat and wool. Get closer insight into the shepherd life-experience that will make you taste a slice of their life. Rafting in Drini river with its rapids and surrounded by natural landscapes. These experiences would be pretty impossible to do independently. It perfectly suits people who would like to experience everything at once!
