Active Tours of Bulgaria
With over 200 holidays to choose from, KE Adventure Travel has one of the very best collections of trekking and walking holidays worldwide. Graded on a scale from 1 to 12, we have holidays to suit everyone. Our tougher treks are likely to involve multi-day hikes through wilderness regions, with porter support and tented accommodation. Whilst at the other end of the scale, our softer walking holidays are more likely to be hotel or lodge-based with a day-walk format and an emphasis on uncovering the area's history, culture and cuisine. From our earliest days we've developed a range of treks that include celebrated classics such as Peru's Inca Trail trek, the ascent of Tanzania's Kilimanjaro and the ever popular Everest Base Camp trek in Nepal. Alongside these, we have always made it a priority to seek out distinctive and unique itineraries in less familiar areas such as Armenia, Cameroon, Madagascar and Burma. Whichever of our trekking or walking holidays you choose to undertake, you can be sure you'll enjoy breaking out of your day-to-day routine and exploring exotic landscapes on foot, with the chance to experience different cultures. Trekking the Ridges and Summits of Bulgaria 8 days
from £575 excl. flights*  Wild mountain walking holiday adventure trekking in the Rila and Pirin mountains of Bulgaria. Lying at the cusp of Europe and Asia Minor, Bulgaria has a mix of Greek and Ottoman cultural influences and vast tracts of dramatic mountain scenery. Our exploration of this fascinating country manages to combine its finest trekking with the very best of local hospitality. Following an ascent of the country's highest peak, Mount Musala (2974m), we traverse the extensive Rila Mountains and pay a visit to theornate Rila Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Following the main ridge of the Central Rila Mountains we bag the peaks named Vapa (2532m) and Chemerna (2511m). Then, after a short transfer and a cable car up to the Bezbog Hut, we begin our exploration of the Pirin Range, following ridge-top paths and traversing alpine meadows to the shores of the atmospheric ‘Dark Lake'. Our overnight stay here, in a remote mountain refuge, surrounded by stunning rocky peaks, is an unforgettable highlight of the trip. The climax of this excellent adventure holiday is our trek to the imposing peaks of Vihren (2914m) and Kotelo (2908m), by way of the spectacular Marble Ridge. | ||
