Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Podgorica to Žabljak

    You'll drive north from Podgorica across the Emperor's stone arch bridge spanning the Zeta River, which sets the tone for the day ahead. From there, the route takes you to Ostrog Monastery, a 17th-century structure built right into a cliff face that's quite something to see in person. After that, you'll reach a viewpoint overlooking Piva Lake, known as the world's highest artificial lake with its distinctive turquoise color. The day wraps up with your arrival in Žabljak for the night.

    Start point

Later, you'll take the scenic ring road through the UNESCO-listed Durmitor National Park, passing through Snake Valley, Sušica Canyon viewpoint, and Mount Prutaš panorama.

  3. Day 3

    Tara River Rafting

    Start your day at Đurđevića Bridge, where you'll get your first look at Europe's deepest canyon. From there, a guided rafting trip takes you down the turquoise Tara River, with waterfalls and canyon walls surrounding you the whole way. Along the route, you'll stop at viewpoints to take in the scenery and visit the 16th-century Dobrilovina Monastery, which has some really nice frescoes inside. Lunch happens while you're driving toward Kolasin, featuring regional specialties that reflect the area's food traditions.

  4. Day 4

    Mrtvica Canyon & Biogradska Gora National Park

    This day is all about hiking through the natural landscapes south of Kolasin. Head to Merdurečdje and walk through Mrtvica Canyon, where turquoise pools dot the canyon floor and an old stone bridge connects the trail. After that, continue on to Biogradska Gora National Park and spend time walking the trails around Biograd Lake. The lake is glacial-fed and surrounded by rainforest that hasn't been developed, so the whole area feels remote and quiet.

By late afternoon, head back to Kolasin and take a relaxing walk through the town center to wind down from the day.

    The trip to Montenegro was wonderful, especially the off-road routes and the walks around the lakes. The food was a bit disappointing, but overall it is highly recommended

    We traveled last month in mountainous Greece. Even though we have already had a few holidays in Greece before, we were surprised to discover completely different landscapes and experiences in the northern mountains. We drove deep into nature with the 4x4, and even though we do not have any off-road driving experience, iraklis the local expert helped us a lot espiescelly finding good tavernes and hiking trails.

    We wanted to travel in Portugal, visiting the classic spots but also adding nature and less touristy places. We are glad we found the solution in Indie's self-guided package. It allowed us to visit Porto and the Douro Valley, and also enjoy the scenery and side roads of Serra da Estrela and Peneda-Geres National Park. The Portuguese people we met were very friendly, and overall we highly recommend both Portugal and this way of traveling.
