Full description
Immerse yourself in the breathtaking natural beauty of the Albanian countryside on a tour to Gamti Mountain and Lake Bovilla from Tirana. Enjoy round-trip transportation by air-conditioned vehicle. Begin your tour with pickup from your accommodation in the morning and set out on a scenic drive to Lake Bovilla. Discover the patterns of life in suburban Tirana as you pass through the city on your way to the countryside. As you approach Lake Bovilla, see the lake's impressive dam. Admire the lake's shimmering teal and turquoise waters, nestled at the base of Gamti Mountain. Head up to the hiking track to begin your ascent of the mountain, soaking up the nature atmosphere. After about 40 minutes of hiking, reach the balcony of the mountain and observe the expansive, rolling forest and hills stretching out before you. At your feet, gaze in wonder at the stunning views of Lake Bovilla. Breathe in the fresh mountain air on your cheeks in a setting of pure natural beauty. Pause to sip water and chat in the shadows of a mountain cave before descending the mountain along the same route. Once you've finished your hike, round off your trip by visiting the shore of the river and admire the unique, canyon-like scenery as you splash and paddle in the cool waters. Note: Swimming on the lake is available only from: May to September.

GetYourGuide traveler – Netherlands9 December 2023 – Verified booking
It was a fantastic trip to Lake Bovilla. Luckily we had beautiful weather for the trip. Our guide Ani was really great, he told us a lot and guided us well. In addition, he was very vigilant about the group to ensure that everyone could make the trip up safely, he liked to take photos for everyone and you could also laugh with him. The last few kilometers of the trip were on a road with many potholes, but this was perfectly manageable given Ani's experience. We stopped at the lake and canyon to take pictures. After this we went up and this road is easy to walk on. The view is fantastic. After we got back down, we went to the restaurant where we could have lunch. Ani also told us a bit about the history of Albania during the ride and gave us some tips for restaurants in the evening. All in all we had a really great trip with Ani. Thank you!

The tour can be short but sweet and definitely worth it. It will take you to a wonderful destination outside Tirana which is not very far. The view while driving is really amazing. The hike is short and can be done with anyone. There is also a restaurant near the parking lot where you can have lunch if you want to. In summary, you will visit a elevated spot where you can see surrounding mountains and Bovilla lake, a quick stop by near the lake and the canyon along the way in an epic road trip. My guide Deo was professional and knowledgeable. He messaged me ahead and arrived early outside my hotel. He has a good knowledge about the hike and encouraged me to ask questions. He also told me about the brief history of Albania. i did ask a lot about Albania and he responded very well like life in Albania, history, foods, etc. He was a guide/driver and photographer. Would highly recommend.

I booked my trip last minute and found out on the day that my name had not been added to the pick up list. The company was very apologetic and offered for me to do it the next day or at 12pm the same day privately. I chose the same day and was picked up by Deo who was friendly and respectful young man. He was patient with me and gave gave information. Gamti mountain and Lake Bovilla are BEAUTIFUL and def my highlight.
