Day tour of Shala River from Tirana

Day tour of Shala River from Tirana

A place this spectacular can’t stay a secret for long: Shala River has its springs from melting snow of the Albanian Alps. This explains the transparency of its waters that create a vivid palette of colors while running through wild mountains. As we take the turn from the main road to Vau i Dejës, the area becomes more rural with fewer cars but more wild nature and amazing landscapes. We will stop for a short break by Vau i Dejes Lake, a beautiful and tranquil setting, and experience local transport over a bumpy road but with an amazing view. At 09:00 we get on a small local boat (this destination is only reachable by boat) that will take us through Komani Lake offering spectacular views of the Albanian Alps, waterfalls, rural villages and wild forests. Last but not least, if you are brave enough, don’t forget to bring your swimming suits with you as some of us will dare to swim in this paradise so-called the Albanian Thailand. We get back on the boat to Komani Dam at around 3:30 pm.
