Kackar Mountains are the most important trekking center of Turkey. The most beautiful trekking routes are found in this marvelous terrain between the highlands ( Yaylas ) which were used for thousand of years by the locals. These highlands are connected by forest trails, high hills, or passages over 3000 m. These trails were always effective on this terrain’s endless tolerance, rich in culture. Not only with the farm animals and news from other villages, but at the same time folk songs, language, and folk tales were passed from one highland to another by these trails. On these mountains, Georgians, Armenians, Lazes and Turks lived together for a long time and performed a collective cultural structure. We are going to learn and live in local villages, folk dances and tales of this cultural treasure on our treks. On our adventure, we will be on the south side of the Kackar Mountains. Especially during the summer period green and flowered valleys, and stable weather conditions are the most essential differences from the other parts of these mountains. You can find exciting mountain lakes, historical churches, and lively and forgotten highland villages. We will trek through the rivers and all the green forests. Our program is advised for trekkers who would like to walk long trails on consecutive days as much as for the ones who would like to rest between trail days. Our comfortable pensions will give you the opportunity to stay and rest any day you want. Our program has only two bases that we are going to be back after every trail. Our dinners will be ready when we arrive and we will have always time to have a hot shower. One condition is necessary to join this program; to love nature.
