Join me for 8 days and 8 nights of pure off-the-beaten path, Montenegrin culture.  Enjoy the wild beauty and serenity of the mountains as we ride through Biogradska Gora National Park, which hosts one of the last virgin forests in Europe. On this progressive trip, we will ride through small villages, pass by pure mountain lakes, explore the Tara River valley, traverse Durmitor National Park and spend our non-riding time in katuns with local families.

Historically, mainly pre-WWII, the katuns of Montenegro were summer pasture lands for farmers who would herd their livestock up from the arid and warmer coastal areas each season.  While much of these traditional farming practices have long since ended and many katuns have fallen into disrepair, the fairly new emergence of tourism in these more remote areas, has allowed for a boost to the local economies and the preservation of buildings and culture.

It is true that this trip will feature awe-inspiring views and pristine riding, but know that your tourist dollars in this area also greatly support the livelihood of the people and culture here.

Your riding partner will be a mountain Balkan horse; calm and very skilled in all varieties of terrain.  You will have your own horse for the week to ride, take care of, connect with and who will take you to amazing places.

We will stay in the traditional summer villages of the locals, enjoying a variety of cultural experiences and meals together.  Sleeping quarters are simple, clean and cozy.  Rooms and bathrooms are shared.

This is a progressive ride meaning we will be traveling through different areas every day.  The terrain is varied mountain riding and is suitable for intermediate through advanced riders.  Total saddle time is between 4-7 hours each day with long breaks for lunch, with rest stops also available for some stretching and picture taking!
