    Day 1 – Welcome to the Highlands

    Today the road will take you to the heart of Albania's highlands. Here you'll be staying in a safari-style tent overlooking the mountain gorge. With a full-sized bed, a writing desk and an en-suite bathroom (fed by a mountain stream), your stylishly decorated tent take glamping to the next level. The views are to die for, and you'll have your own yoga mat to perfect your warrior asana with the mountains as a backdrop. There's a separate dining area where the freshly-cooked meals will be served, a bar to enjoy your drink at and a small library if you you've left your book at home. In the evening the guests gather around a bonfire before bedtime.

    Day 2 – Explore the area

    Today is all about exploring the great outdoors. After breakfast your local guide will take you on a hike through the Kurvelesh mountains surrounding the camp. There are plenty of entangled pathways that will lead you to one of the many picturesque locations. Whether you'll end up exploring the canyon covered in lush greenery, or tackle the more strenuous mountain routes, you're bound to be surrounded by spectacular views. On your way you might come across local shepherds herding their sheep, or spot rare birds.

    At the end of the day you'll return back to the camp for a well deserved hot meal before gathering around the bonfire for a drink and a tale or two.
