Description

Experience the Natural Wonders of Albania: A Day Trip to Gamti Mountain and Lake Bovilla Escape the city and immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Albania's countryside with a guided day trip from Tirana to Lake Bovilla and Gamti Mountain. Your adventure begins with convenient pickup from your accommodation in Tirana, followed by a scenic drive through picturesque landscapes, including rolling hills, quaint villages, and expansive fields. Arrive at Lake Bovilla, where you'll be greeted by the serene beauty of its crystal-clear waters and the impressive dam. Take a moment to appreciate the untouched surroundings before setting off on your guided hike. Stroll along the tranquil lakeside, breathing in the fresh mountain air as your guide shares insights about the local flora, fauna, and the cultural significance of the area. Embark on the hiking trail towards Gamti Mountain, where every turn reveals stunning views of the lake and the surrounding countryside. The hike includes intermittent breaks to rest and absorb the scenery. After approximately 40 minutes, reach the summit to enjoy a panoramic vista of the sprawling lake and encircling mountains. This is the perfect spot to capture breathtaking photographs or simply savor the moment. Descend along the same path and, upon reaching the base, visit the river's shore. Here, you can splash and paddle in the cool waters or relax in the shadow of a mountain cave. If you wish to swim, note that swimming in Lake Bovilla is forbidden; however, swimming in the river is always an option. Wrap up your day with some free time to grab a meal at a nearby restaurant (at your own expense) or enjoy a snack you’ve brought with you. After a day of adventure and natural beauty, return to Tirana, where you'll be dropped off at your accommodation, leaving with a deeper appreciation for Albania’s remarkable landscapes.
