Durmitor National Park - North Montenegro day trip - Tara canyon, Black lake...

My guide picked me up right on time from my hotel and we were off. The tour winds north through the mountains along a beautiful brilliant blue river. My guide made stops along the way for classic tourist pictures and places he only knew about. After talking with him about Montenegro's food, he took me to a local restaurant to have Kachamak (a dish famous in northern Montenegro). I was grateful, because I had never heard/seen anything about Kachamak. My guide was very attentive and made an effort to make the trip special. I highly recommend!

We traveled in December so due to the short days we only visited Durmitor National Park and Tara canyon, however our tour operator was kind enough to refund us for the places we missed out on.The owner of the tour agency Mr Dimitri himself took us around as he wanted us to be in safe hands due to landslides in the alternate routes to the national park. He was very nice to us and took lot of interest in telling us about Montenegro. Talking about the locales themselves the Black lake was splendid! Just a day after the fresh shower of snow, the national park looked mystical ! I tried zip lining at the Tara canyon for the first time in my life, and the experience was exhilarating!! Since we missed out on Biogradska national park and Moraca monastery due to landslides, Dimitri showed us around Podgorica city by night. All in all definitely recommend this little country with so much to offer!!

The national park and lakes are so beautiful, everywhere is just amazing for pictures. The guide was so nice told us a lot of history, culture, country stories and the drive was great!
