Is there electricity available each night for my husband's CPAP machine?

Most of the accommodations we use will have electricity available, including the hotel, village guesthouse, and apartment stays. However, for the farm stay, it's important to note that some may have limited or intermittent power.

Is it possible to get more detailed information about the hikes on Day 3 and Day 4 - in particular the length and elevation changes?

On day 3, You'll also have the option of hiring a local guide to hike to the abandoned village of Molle. This approximately 5-kilometre round-trip hike involves about 600 metres of elevation gain into the mountains. As there are a number of river crossings on our hike in the Shala River region, please bring trekking sandals or reef shoes suitable for walking in water. Past travellers have found the nature of today's hikes challenging, so please ensure you are ready to get wet and walk on steep and uneven ground that may be slippery at times.

Do the overnight stays have private bathrooms? I am over 80 years old, and would like a tour that arranges my bags being moved from room to room. How would you rate this tour with respect to difficulty?

On this trip all of the accommodations with have ensuite bathrooms so you will not have to share with other members of your group. On a physical scale this trip is rated a 3 out of 5. Please note that some of the hikes may be of a higher physical rating compared to the overall trip rating. Your leader will be able to provide you with more details on the included hikes. Please feel free to opt out of the hikes should you prefer to enjoy a more leisurely day.

Would it be possible to get me in this tour for September 30, 2023? I'm traveling alone, but could share a room with another traveler if possible to make it work.

Unfortunately, 30 September 2023 departure for the Albania Expedition is fully booked and we are unable to accommodate your request. If you would like to travel on a tour during these days, we help you in booking another trip. Please let us know if you are interested to travel in any other trip so that we can assist you accordingly.

I'm hoping to send 12+ passengers to Albania for travel purpose. As this is a new experience to me, I hope that you would help me through on receiving the available tour packages. Will you be able to do the e-visa process on my behalf?

  What I'd like to know are the lengths (in km) and elevation changes for the non-optional hike on day 3 and the upstream hike on day 4, if possible.

  Traveler•Written January 2025
  Day 3: Shala River - Depending on the level of the water, we can go hiking through the bed of the Shala river for 1 or 2 kilometers. The terrain gets too rough after that and is not easy to continue up the trail that goes up in the mountain. The terrain is soft with rocks and sand but from times to times you need to go inside the water which can get as high as 1m 50 centimeters. Day 4: Further up the Shala River - This is the trail that eventually brings from Shala river bed to the Molla e Shoshit abandoned village. It is an easy walk of 3.5 kilometers. It has a change of elevation of about 470 meters. Estimated hiking time totaling about 3h30 minutes total. It is an easy to moderate hike for experienced and fit hikers.

  I will be 82 next summer. It it reasonable to expect that the facilities will have someone who can handle the luggage to and from the room? Gratuities are expected.
