• Zilkale (Bell Castle)

• Palovit Waterfall

• Çat Valley

• Boxwood Forest (Şimşir Ormanı)

• Elevit Plateau

• Çat Village

• Çamlıhemşin Bazaar

We will pick you up from your hotel after breakfast. Today’s journey takes us deep into the Çat Valley. This route, surrounded by pine forests, offers an easy drive. We will move forward passing through villages paved with cobblestones.

On the way, the majestic Zilkale will welcome us with all its glory. It is possible to watch the valley from a wide perspective from the castle. After the waterfall, our next destination in the valley journey is the Boxwood Forest and its melancholic story. While wandering through this precious forest, your guide will explain the reason behind this sadness.

Leaving the Boxwood Forest, we head towards Elevit Plateau. We will take a short break at the point where the two rivers that give Çat Valley its name meet. Then, we will continue towards the plateau. Elevit Plateau is a popular destination for everyone. It is an easily accessible plateau with a stream flowing through it and houses overlooking the water. We will take a short stroll within the plateau.

On the way back from Elevit, we will visit Çat Village, the apple of the eye for those who still maintain the livestock lifestyle. It adds a completely different ambiance to the valley with its grass that turns green in spring and yellow in autumn.

We will have a lunch break during the return journey. Afterward, we will return to Çamlıhemşin center, where you will have free time at the bazaar. If you wish, you can experience fun activities like ziplining or rafting, or browse through the souvenir shops. Whenever you wish to end your bazaar time, we will drop you off at your hotel. Dinner will be served at your hotel

• Gito Plateau

• Badara Plateau

• Ayder, Gelin Tülü Waterfall

• Avusor Plateau

• Huser Sunset

Your vehicle journey will begin after breakfast. Today, you will get your fill of the highlands. Our first route is Gito Plateau, which has inspired many songs. Gito and Badara are two plateaus located close to each other, just a 30-minute drive apart.

Upon arriving at Gito Plateau, there will be a short walk and a photo break. Afterward, we will reach Badara Plateau by vehicle. Badara, which features a small lake inside, is a plateau where you can see rhododendrons up close. Especially if you are there during the yellow rhododendron season, you will be fascinated by their scent and color. We also recommend tasting the local Laz böreği at Badara Plateau.

The second half of the day's journey follows the Ayder Plateau route. You will get to know the new face of Ayder, which has surrendered to modern transformation and where traditional highland farming is no longer practiced. Gelin Tülü Waterfall will be our photo and rest stop in Ayder. Then, continuing along the Ayder road, we will ascend to Avusor Plateau, where we will have a lunch break. We will set off to reach even higher altitudes at the right time for the Huser sunset.

Huser Plateau is famous for its "sea of clouds." You will watch the sun set over the clouds with the entire white mist spread beneath your feet. After the sunset, we will drop you off at your hotel to conclude this magnificent day. Dinner will be served at the hotel.

After breakfast, our journey heads toward the coast. We will arrive at Borçka Karagöl after a 2-hour drive. The lake is surrounded by a well-maintained trail, allowing you to easily walk all the way around it. It will provide you with excellent photographic scenery.

On our return journey from Karagöl, we will have a lunch break in a traditional home setting in Papilat Village, located within the borders of Arhavi. You will absolutely love this place. Following lunch, we will take a route along the river in the Kamilet Valley.

We will take a photo break at the Twin Bridges and then arrive at the entrance of Mençuna Waterfall. After leaving the vehicle at the entrance, a one-hour hike—consisting of occasional stairs and easy paths—will lead us to where the waterfall pours down. We promise this light exertion will be worth it! While watching the waterfall, a cup of highland tea will warm your soul.

The Tar Stream will accompany you throughout this pleasant stroll. Upon arrival, you will have the chance to see the waterfall up close and feel its refreshing mist.

As we leave Çamlıhemşin, we will stop at the Çaykur Tea Factory and Lazika Tea Shop if you wish to see the local organic teas or perhaps tuck a sample pack into your suitcase.
