Although the river Tara runs through Montenegro in all its length, some organisations from the Republic of Srpska exploit its capacities, too. That's why at the very beginning you'll probably feel a double temptation regarding which of the countries, and therefore what rafting camp to settle on for your host.

Rafting on the Tara lasts from April the fifteenth until the end of September, as long as the weather conditions enable us. From the start towards the end of the season the inflow of water into the Tara gradually decreases, as well as the water level, since they're directly connected to the quantity of snow which melts from the mountains through the canyon of which the river Tara runs. If the winter has been harsh and snowy, you ought to expect whitewater rafting on the Tara to be even more exciting.

May and April are undoubtedly the most popular months for rafting. The adrenalin rush on the Tara in April is something you can't experience within the rapids throughout other months, but considerably lower temperatures in this half of year should additionally be taken into consideration, which is why our recommendation is not to forget to bring a few deciliters of strong homemade plum brandy (prepecenica). After sunset it will get chilly even when you are next to the fire with plum brandy, so, it is really desirable to possess warmer clothes and shoes.

Paradise on the Tara is in July and August. The temperature which typically reaches even thirty-five degrees Celsius by the river, which during this half of year gets its characteristic emerald glow, is easy to bear. A camera is one thing you would regret not to have in your hands while being in such an ambience. When the night falls, although it's summertime, the location of the camp as well as the immediate vicinity of the river can affect the temperature. Fresh nights are great for sleeping, but to put it short: It's never too much garments if you're on rafting on the Tara.

A camera, beer, lighter, cigarettes are some of the items some of us would not part from even when on water...but still, they ought to stay dry. A bit better quality plastic bag can provide sufficient protection. Nevertheless, a plastic barrel with a lid is not a bad idea, either. A bit more ingenious option for cameras are plastic bowls for food. I am sure you are familiar with which ones I mean? You'll be able to obtain them in Chinese stores...They're offered in numerous sizes, from the tiniest to the largest, so that your camera will positively be safe.

Trnovacko, White and Black Lake are destinations that are definitely worth visiting. The same refers to Orlovacko, Borilovacko, Kotlarnicko, Stirijsko and Jugovo Lake-the sole artificial one.

When you're already on your way to Trnovacko Lake, take a minute to see Perucica, and the view of the waterfall Skakavac can be overwhelming. Visiting Perucica, the sole remaining European forest, as well as the tours to the lakes, may be a sort of mountain climbing, which is why adequate clothes and shoes or boots are more than necessary. The danger of hurting yourself or falling down along the rocky path to Trnovacko Lake is considerable if you don't follow your guides instructions or lack acceptable equipment. The walking route through this distinctive area goes over terribly steep slopes and descents, which significantly slows down the pace, but increases tiredness. Before you get to be tired you should keep in mind to take a towel and your bathing suit which will be more than helpful after you reach the lake, although their huge` weight on your back will surely get on your nerves. Before setting off an adventurer should fill their rucksack with a number of sandwiches, a bottle of water, bathing suit, towel, an spare T-shirt and several sweets to eat in moments of exhaustion, hunger, but of pleasure, too.

When in nature you definitely don't want your cell, and even more, it is certain 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. Except for some spots where the network exists.

Wild strawberries, cranberries and blueberries, depending on the season, are solely some of the refreshments that you'll come across. For those who love mushrooms a nice variety can be a true pleasure, but many alternative varieties of fruit and vegetables will be found,too. This area is extraordinarily rich in drinking water, and the springs of cold water can quench your thirst while hiking and climbing.

As I've mentioned in the beginning, now you know what to expect while overwhelmed by natural beauties, and adventures waiting just for you. It's up to you which adventures to settle on aside from whitewater rafting adventure on the Tara itself . There is 1 more factor I would really like to advise you on and that's to take your passport for crossing the borders. And as for the border crossings... it may be important to understand that during the tour to Trnovacko Lake, the walking route crosses the borderline between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. The point is that, though the lake is in Montenegro, the the majority of passable routes go through Bosnia and Herzegovina.
