Not only that they seek the beautiful sceneries but also get to know the culture of the people that live in these majestic mountains.

With the 25th of August we headed to Valbona National Park. We went from the village of Rragam, through the Valbona Valley and up into the Valbona Pass that leads you to the pictoresque village of Theth. We arrived a bit late around 11:30 am and started our hike with a big group of hikers at 12:00 pm, our main and fantastic guide was Ismet Borovci.  Valbona Pass. I am deeply in love with the Accursed Mountains, and when I'm here I find it very hard to part ways with these wonderful mountains. The people were also mesmerized from the amazing views of Valbona Valley, everyone kept taking pictures, laughing and talking to each other. Valbona Valley.

Every year during August Hiking Njeri holds a fantastic event called Camp'N' Hike. And so forth, this time was with 17-18th of August, the sixth edition was fantastic as ever. This camp was held in Brod of Dragash, near the Hotel Arxhena. From this wonderful place we created so many memories, had fun and saw joyous moments.

The first night was very cold, I suppose it was somewhere between 5 degrees, that night I slept with two sleeping bags even though they seemed to be warm enough but sometimes the mountain can be very cold. Thus, the next day we woke up and went to drink a coffee, we started to work again on our tents and prepared 15 more tends. We turned the sound system on, and prepared wonderful

As the quote says " Salt, Air, Cool Breeze, Adventure in my Soul " Some days ago, we were drinking coffee in Prishtina and decided to go somewhere to cool off. So we planned to travel to South Albania and visit the beautiful beach of Jale.

We were the night owls and we stood the whole night long awake and made fun and laughed, around 07:00 in the morning we arrived at
