If you have finally decided to find out rafting on the river Tara and feel the wonders of intact nature, or yet to possess unforgettable moments crammed with real positive energy, these several paragraphs will generally facilitate you with the overall organisation of the event: beginning with the organisation of the travel, stuff that you would like to require with you, destinations which you’ll be able to visit, plus all the adventures that you just shouldn`t miss.

Regardless the actual fact that Tara river runs through Montenegro in all its length, its capacities are exploited by organisations from the Bosnia and Hertzegovina, too. This is often why even at the very starting you’ll be in 2 minds regarding which of the two countries to choose for your host, and furthermore, which are the best rafting camp to visit.

The season of rafting on Tara river starts around April fifteen and lasts until the end of September. During that period (of about VI months) the inflaw of water in the Tara decreases considerably, that is directly connected to melting of the snow cover. If the winter has been cold and snowy, you ought to expect white water rafting on the Tara to be even more exciting.

May and April are certainly the most popular months for rafting. The adrenalin rush on the Tara in April is something you can’t experience in the rapids during other months, but significantly lower temperatures in this half of year should additionally be taken into consideration, which is why our recommendation is not to forget to bring several deciliters of quality homemade plum brandy (`prepecenica`). It gets chilly within the evening, too, that’s why, better garments and shoes can be desirable.

In July and August on Tara river it’s better then in paradise. By day the temperatures are typically over thirty-five degrees Celsius, whereas the colour of the river gets pure emerald shine. Being in such atmosphere is one of the moments when you’d hate not to possess a camera at hand. Although it is summer time, it gets significantly colder at night. The mountains as well as the river which is nearby have such an effect. To write it shortly:` It’s never too much clothes if you are on rafting on the Tara`.

You may need all sorts of stuff when on water: cigarettes, a lighter, camera, `rakija`, beer, a T-shirt… and a number of those things shouldn`t get wet. That’s why, before going on rafting, you should get a bit higher quality nylon bag to protect your things from water, but still it is much better to have got a plastic barrel with a lid. Some guys came up with a nice plan and kept their cameras in plastic Chinese bowls for food. I’m certain you know which ones I’m talking about? You’ll buy them in sets from the largest to the smallest, they need lids, and they’re great for Russian salad.

People who love nature and who are already in the national reserve Sutjeska should not waste time. The landscapes of mountain Zelengora are amazingly beautiful. Trnovacko, White and Black Lake are destinations which are definitely a must see. The same goes for Orlovacko, Borilovacko, Kotlarnicko, Stirijsko and Jugovo Lake-the sole artificial one.

When you are already approaching Trnovacko Lake, take a moment to see Perucica, and the view of the waterfall Skakavac can be amazing. Visiting Perucica, the only remaining European forest, along with the tours to the lakes, may be a sort of mountain climbing, which is why appropriate garments and shoes or boots are more than necessary. The chance of hurting yourself or falling down along the rocky path to Trnovacko Lake is huge if you do not follow your guide`s directions or lack acceptable equipment. The walking path through this unique region goes over very steep slopes and descents, which considerably slows down the pace, but increases tiredness. Before you find yourself tired you must bear in mind to take a towel and your bathing suit which will be more than helpful once you reach the lake, though their `massive` weight on your back will surely get on your nerves. Before setting off an adventurer ought to fill their rucksack with a couple of sandwiches, a bottle of water, bathing suit, towel, an spare T-shirt and a lot of sweets to eat in moments of tiredness, hunger, but of enjoyment, too.

When in nature you certainly do not need cell phones, and what`s more, it’s positive that over the most of the walking routes you may not be in a position to use them for the simple reason that there’s no network. There is network only at some spots.

Depending on the part of the year, it is possible come across forest strawberries, cranberries or blueberries. These are only a few of the species. If you’re a nutritionist, completely different kinds of mushrooms will be possible to find, the same as various alternative fruits and vegetables. It should additionally be stressed that this region is rich in springs that in most cases abound in fresh drinking water.

As I’ve mentioned in the beginning, now you recognize what to expect while overwhelmed by natural beauties, and adventures waiting just for you. It is up to you which of the trips to settle on apart from river rafting trip on the Tara itself . There is one more issue I would like to advise you on and that is to bring your passport for crossing the borders. And as for the border crossings… it might be important to realize that during the tour to Trnovacko Lake, the walking route crosses the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. Actually, though the lake is in Montenegro, the the majority of passable paths run through Bosnia and Herzegovina.
