**Sitting at the crossroads of Central and Southeast Europe, the Balkans are a region that has been shaped by movement, exchange and conflict**. From the Ottomans to the Austro-Hungarians, over centuries empires have risen and fallen here, leaving behind a layered cultural identity that is still visible today. While the 20th century brought a more turbulent chapter, particularly during the breakup of Yugoslavia, what stands out now is this resilient region’s incredible cultural and natural richness. Travel through **Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia and Croatia** reveals a constantly shifting cultural landscape, each country offering its own distinct character while sharing deep historical ties. You’ll find Ottoman-era mosques alongside 19th century Austro-Hungarian façades, socialist-era architecture next to lively café-lined streets, and a shared love of hospitality that runs throughout. Food is a highlight: hearty, flavourful and rooted in tradition, whether it’s grilled meats, slow-cooked stews, fresh breads or strong coffee lingered over in a busy square. Our journey begins in **Belgrade**, Serbia’s cool and slightly gritty capital city. Set at the meeting point of the Danube and Sava rivers, its historic Belgrade Fortress offers sweeping views and a sense of the city’s strategic importance through the centuries. From here, we’ll head into the Serbian countryside, where villages like historic **Mokra Gora** show us what rural life was like in days gone by. In tiny Bosnia, **Sarajevo** is often described as a place where East meets West. Ottoman bazaars sit nearby colorful Baroque squares, and the city’s tragic recent history adds another layer to its story. The city is also known as the **"Jerusalem of Europe"**, due to the fact that the four major faiths of Islam, Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox Christianity, and Judaism have coexisted here for centuries. Further south, **Mostar** offers one of the region’s most recognisable sights in the elegant Stari Most, a UNESCO-listed bridge that brave divers leap off in the summer months. Crossing into Croatia, the landscapes shift from forest to dazzling Adriatic coastlines. Towns like Šibenik provide a gateway to some of the country’s best national parks, including **Krka National Park** and the lake-filled **Plitvice Lakes National Park**. Wooden walkways will lead us past waterfalls and through turquoise waters, offering a refreshing break from the city. The final stretch takes us into under-the-radar Slovenia, a land of pristine lakes, towering mountains and tranquil alpine meadows. The compact and picturesque capital, **Ljubljana**, is perfect for a riverside stroll, while nearby we’ll find highlights like Kranjska Gora’s jagged peaks and **Lake Bled**, with its iconic island church and clifftop castle, a must on every traveler’s bucket list. Taking in four countries and countless epic sights, this is the Balkan adventure of a lifetime. **Let’s go!** **Day 0 / SER: Flight & Arrival in Belgrade** Meet at DXB for a direct flight to Belgrade. Upon arrival in Belgrade, immigration and transfer to the hotel to get a good night’s sleep before the adventure begins. **Day 1 / SER: Belgrade** We start things off with an exploration of Belgrade, an underrated European capital that offers incredible culture, history and gastronomy, without the crowds. This morning we’ll tour the city’s highlights, including the iconic Belgrade Fortress. Built on a ridge above the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers, and dating back to the 2nd century, the fortress has been destroyed and rebuilt countless times over 16 centuries. Today, it stands as a powerful symbol of the city’s long and often turbulent history. In the afternoon, we’ll head out of the city center for some nature and views, visiting the Avala Tower, a 205-metre-high structure atop Avala Mountain offering panoramic vistas across the region, and Košutnjak Forest, often referred to as the city’s “oxygen factory”. Overnight in Belgrade. **Day 2 / SER-BOS: Belgrade – Mokra Gora – Visegrad - Sarajevo** Today we leave the city behind and head into the mountains towards Mokra Gora, a picturesque traditional village sitting between the Tara and Zlatibor ranges, offering a glimpse of life in rural Serbia. Here we’ll take a ride on the famous Šargan Eight, a narrow-gauge railway that loops in a figure-eight through 22 tunnels, revealing expansive views of forested hills and valleys. Crossing the border into Bosnia, we’ll make a stop at Visegrad to see the Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge, one of the region’s most striking architectural landmarks. Spanning the Drina River, this 16th-century Ottoman bridge is UNESCO-listed and offers a picturesque spot for photos. We’ll continue to Sarajevo, where we spend the night. **Day 3 / BOS: Sarajevo – Mostar** We’ll start the day with a tour of Sarajevo, a city defined by its cultural and religious diversity. It’s one of the few places where a mosque, Catholic church, Orthodox church and synagogue can all be found within walking distance, reflecting centuries of coexistence. In the old bazaar of Baščaršija, Ottoman influences remain strong, from the architecture to the tradition of slow-brewed Bosnian coffee, showcasing the city’s reputation as a place where “east meets west”. Later, we’ll take the gondola up Trebević Mountain, rising 1,627 metres above the city, which once hosted events for the 1984 Winter Olympics. We’ll enjoy the views before continuing our journey south. En route to Mostar, we’ll stop in Jablanica to visit the Neretva River battle museum, a memorial to the pivotal WWII battle of 1943. Overnight in Mostar. **Day 4 / BOS-CRO: Mostar – Kravice – Šibenik** Today we discover Mostar, the historic capital of Herzegovina, developed as an Ottoman frontier town in the 15th century. Its beautifully restored old town centres around the iconic Stari Most, a 16th-century bridge that was destroyed during the Bosnian War and later rebuilt, now standing as a symbol of reconciliation. We’ll wander the UNESCO-listed Old Town, explore the narrow streets of the bazaar, and soak up the blend of Islamic and European influences. We’ll continue on to Blagaj Tekke, a 16th-century Dervish monastery set at the base of a cliff beside a spring, combining Ottoman and Mediterranean architectural styles. Our next stop is the lush Kravice Waterfalls, a wide cascade on the Trebižat River, close to the border. Crossing into Croatia, we’ll continue to the Šibenik area, where we spend the night. **Day 5 / CRO: Šibenik – Plitvice** Today we get a dose of stunning nature as we explore Krka National Park, a majestic, protected landscape of cascading waterfalls, emerald pools and rich biodiversity shaped by the Krka River. Wooden walkways and trails make it easy to experience the scenery up close, including the impressive Skradinski Buk falls. Afterwards, we’ll stop in the historic riverside town of Skradin, a settlement with over two millennia of history. We’ll enjoy a relaxed lunch before continuing inland to the Plitvice region. Overnight in the Plitvice area. **Day 6 / CRO-SLO: Plitvice – Ljubljana** Today we visit Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia’s oldest and largest national park. Its 16 interconnected lakes, linked by waterfalls and natural limestone barriers, are famous for their constantly shifting colours, from deep azure to vivid green, caused by mineral-rich waters. Wooden boardwalks wind through the landscape, offering an immersive way to explore this UNESCO-listed site. Later, we’ll visit Rastoke, a picturesque village where traditional houses and historic watermills sit among a network of small waterfalls at the meeting point of two rivers. We’ll hit the road again and cross the border into Slovenia, continuing to Ljubljana, where we spend the night. **Day 7 / SLO: Ljubljana – Kranjska Gora – Bled** This morning we’ll set off into the Julian Alps towards Kranjska Gora, a charming alpine town near the borders of Austria and Italy. Known as a gateway to Triglav National Park, Slovenia’s only national park, it offers a pristine landscape of mountains, forests and glacial valleys, perfect for hiking and scenic drives. Next we’ll explore the most iconic of Slovenia’s sights: the fairytale-like Lake Bled. This glacial lake, known for its striking blue-green waters, is centred around a small island topped by a 17th-century church and overlooked by a dramatic cliffside castle dating back over 1,000 years. This incredible destination offers stunning views from every angle, and once we’ve had our fill (and taken hundreds of photos), we’ll head back to the city. Overnight in Ljubljana. **Day 8 / SLO-CRO: Ljubljana – Zagreb** This morning we’ll hit the road first thing, crossing the border back into Croatia. We’ll make our way to Zagreb, the country’s capital and main transport hub, where Central Europe, the Mediterranean and Southeast Europe meet. Setting out on a tour, we’ll take in the city’s chic café culture and the beautiful architecture in its charming Old Town, passing by highlights such as Zagreb Cathedral, St Mark’s Church, the Lotrščak tower, offering one of the most beautiful views of the city, and the Gric Tunnel, built as a refuge during WWII and used again during the Croatian War of Independence in the early 90s. Overnight in Zagreb. **Day 9 / CRO: Departure** Free morning to explore and do some last-minute souvenir shopping, before we head to Zagreb Airport to catch our return flight.

Picture a setting sun tinging the **sky with hues of red, purple, and orange, the mighty baobab striking a squat pose against the sky,** its plump trunk leading up to a few delicate flinger-like branches, making for one mystical sight. One Arabian legend says the devil plucked up the baobab, thrust its branches into the Earth, and left its roots in the air. A tree so distinctive they named it twice! Easily recognized by their swollen base at the trunk which gives the tree a bottle-like appearance. They can be **as short as 5 meters to as tall as 12 meters with the bottle-trunk up to 5 meters in diameter**. With blooms in the spring of large white flowers which only open at night, these ancient trees have many tales to tell, given **their estimated age up to 2,000 years!** **Few places on Earth offer such an intense kaleidoscope of nature** as Madagascar, from fertile hills cascading with terraced rice paddies, forests of every kind from wet & rainy to dry and spiny, and a laterite-rich soil which gives the country it’s nickname of “Red Island”. With thousands of kilometres of coastline, the sea is never very far, turquoise and idyllic, dangerous and mysterious, big adventure on the world’s fourth largest island. There is no other place on Earth where you’ll find more **lemurs because they’re only found in Madagascar!** Endemic to the island and evolved from monkeys and apes, they once were as large as the male gorilla! **There are now over 100 species of lemurs**, in all shapes and sizes, from the pygmy mouse lemur to the long-tailed Indri. And while the signature animal of Madagascar is the Lemur, there are many weird and wonderful creatures, from the eerie-looking **fossa-fossa (a cat-dog crossover)**, **colourful and camouflaged chameleons**, oddly shaped insects, vivid frogs, graceful rays and turtles, several species of sharks, and humpback whales during the winter months. **Madagascar, from East to West, from Lemur to Boabab, on the road, the river, and the sea!** [https://vimeo.com/292618272](https://vimeo.com/292618272) [https://vimeo.com/194405246](https://vimeo.com/194405246) [https://vimeo.com/224965822](https://vimeo.com/224965822) **Let's go!** **Day 1 – Arrival in Tana, transfer to Antsirabe** Arrival, immigration procedure.

Hello Friends, **Are you feeling the weight of financial uncertainty?** Does the idea of building a secure future feel overwhelming, like an impossible climb? Are you dreaming of a life where money works for you, instead of the other way around? You're not alone. **Money is rarely about money**. **Money** is all about **behaviour**. **Your habits, thoughts and feelings about money** are going to determine how you manage your money. Many of us carry the burden of financial worry, the constant pressure to make ends meet, and the longing for a life where we can breathe easier. We dream of a **future where money doesn't dictate our choices**, where we have the **freedom to pursue our passions** and **spend time with the people we love**.

**Between the jagged ridges of the Vachkazhets Mountains and the expanse of the Pacific Ocean lies Kamchatka,** an untamed peninsula long considered **the very** **end of the world.** This is a place that exists in adventurers’ wildest dreams: a land where volcanoes breathe, glaciers carve into the earth, crystalline rivers flow through endless forest, and nature puts on a show that never gets old. Tucked away in the far east of Russia, this wild land is just a stone’s throw from Alaska across the Bering Sea. Once an exclusionary military zone, **Kamchatka remained closed to the outside world for decades**, and has only recently started welcoming curious travelers. That long isolation has kept it astonishingly pure, a rare frontier where the modern world still feels refreshingly far away. Here, **more than 300 volcanoes** **rise dramatically from emerald forests and golden tundra.** Dozens of them are still alive and rumbling. Snow-capped peaks tower above steaming valleys, giant Stellers sea eagles ride the winds, orcas glide through icy coastal waters, and king crabs rule the seabed. Keeping watch over it all is the true king of Kamchatka, the mighty brown bear. This season, we invite you **deep into the soul of southern Kamchatka**. We will conquer the landscapes in sturdy off-road trucks, raft down sparkling rivers, sail into the open Pacific, and soar by helicopter over smoking volcanoes and hidden geyser fields, reaching places few humans have ever set foot upon. In a single day you may wander from flower filled alpine meadows to bubbling geothermal wonderlands, bathe in wild hot springs, and watch salmon leap while brown bears fish just metres away. **In Kamchatka, nature is not merely scenery,** **but a living force.** You can feel its warm breath rising from the ground, hear its heartbeat in the roaring rivers, and taste its untamed spirit in the salt air and wild berries. **This trekkup is far more than a journey**. It is a rare and privileged immersion into one of the planet’s last great wildernesses, a land of fire and ice, bears and boiling springs, where the forces of creation still shape the earth before your eyes. Here, as we stand on the edge of the world, every moment reminds us how small we are, and how deeply alive we can feel when we stand face to face with raw, untamed nature. **Welcome to Kamchatka. Let’s go!** **DAY 1 // Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky & Paratunka** Following our 6-hour domestic flight across the endless Siberian skies, we’ll arrive in **Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky**. A quick drive will take us to our cozy hotel, where we’ll freshen up and have free time to take it easy, beat the jet lag, and get super excited for the days ahead! There’s the option to stroll around the historic centre of the town or head straight to **Paratunka** and its natural banya (hot springs) for a relaxing soak, in true Russian style. **DAY 2 // Starichkov Island sea trip** This morning we head straight to the seaport, jump on a boat and **head out of Avacha Bay into the Pacific Ocean**. Gliding past the silent sentinels of the Three Brothers rocks, we’ll pass weather-beaten Babushkin Kamen Island, and round the edge of Cape Stanitsky, where the sea opens to reveal **Starichkov Island**. This living sanctuary is a bird paradise, where thousands of puffins, guillemots, cormorants, and murrelets swoop and soar through the skies, watched by the seals and sea lions lounging on the rocks. What could make this day even more perfect? A delicious lunch! In our first introduction to regional delicacies, we’ll **feast like kings on fresh Kamchatka king crab**, flounder and rockfish. Heading back to port, we’ll stop at the city museum before wrapping up the day. **DAY 3 //** **ATV trip to Vilyuchinsky Pass & Dachnye Hot Springs** Today we jump on our ATVs and head straight into the wild volcanic landscape, our hair blowing in the wind. First stop is the **Vilyuchinsky Pass**, offering the stunning sight of a chain of nine volcano tops stretching out into the distance. On to **Dachnye Hot Springs**, known as the Mini Valley of Geysers, where hot mineral waters spill from the base of Mutnovsky volcano. An easy trek will get us up close and personal with the geothermal madness: steaming vents hissing like angry kettles, bright orange and yellow mud pots bubbling away, and colourful mineral deposits that look like someone spilled paint all over the ground. The air is thick with the sharp bite of sulphur. Hear the Earth breathing: slow, deep, and so alive! Hungry? A picnic amid this geothermal bonanza just hits different. A selfie with sandwich surrounded by steaming vents and bubbling pots will make it unforgettable! **DAY 4 // Snowmobile trip to Avachinsky Volcano** Today it’s time to stand face-to-face with the mighty Avachinsky, an active stratovolcano standing more than 2700 meters above the tundra. We’ll hop on our snowmobiles and roll up to base camp right on time for a tea break. We’ll explore this black and white playground further, feeling the how small we really are in this valley between the looming Avachinsky and Koryaksky volcanoes. Back to base camp for another round of hot tea before calling it a day and heading back to civilization. ALTERNATIVE direction (depending on the road conditions): **The Mayachny Cape.** **DAY 5 //** **Meet the locals & Ozerki** **thermal waters** Today we step away from the volcanoes and focus on **the human element of Kamchatka**, a place where the Koryak, Itelmen and Even peoples live in harmony, thriving in one of the harshest environments on Earth. We’ll learn how they’ve survived in this wild land for thousands of years: reindeer herding, fishing, and continuing shamanic traditions. Expect stories, songs, maybe a quick dance performance, and the chance to try on real national costumes for some epic shots. The highlight will surely be the kennel full of **energetic Kamchatka huskies** and other northern breeds. You can pet them and even try driving a dog sled yourself if you’re feeling brave! In the afternoon, we’ll head to **Ozerki** for today’s grand finale: bathing in the natural thermal radon water swimming pool. Silky-soft, pleasantly warm and therapeutic, any soreness or stress will instantly melt away. As we float, muscles turning to jelly, the cold Kamchatka air numbing our faces… this will be an experience we never forget. **DAY 6 // Optional activities** Free time at leisure for optional activities. **DAY 7 // King crabs & volcanic sands** For our final day, we’re going full Ocean Mode, meaning crab fishing and volcanic Pacific shores. After breakfast we’ll head to Avacha Bay, jump on a motorboat and commence our **hunt for Kamchatka king crab straight from the icy sea**. Back on shore, the crew will boil up the massive spiky legs right there in seawater. We’ll continue on to the legendary **Khalaktyrsky black sand beach**, walking barefoot on the dark volcanic sand with the Pacific waves crashing beside us. Wild, cinematic, unreal are the words to use here. On the way back to hotel, we’ll have time for a shopping haul at the fish market – think smoked fish, caviar, and souvenirs – before heading back to the hotel. **DAY 8 // Departure** Departure day. Airport transfer, bye bye Kamchatka! **Duration:** 8 days + flights. **Activities:** trekking, boating, snow mobile riding, geothermal bathing, crab fishing. **Grade:** Easy to moderate **Room & Meals:** 4\* hotels, double sharing.

**Imagine a place where the sun rises over mist-wrapped mountains, the ocean glows electric turquoise**, and the only thing crowding the beach is a curious sea turtle. Welcome to Timor-Leste, the secret half-island paradise that time and mass tourism forgot. Located 600 km north of Australia, this is **Southeast Asia’s wildest, youngest country**. The world’s newest democracy, born in 2002 after centuries of Portuguese spice traders, revolutionary spirit, and a hard-won fight for freedom. The scars of the past are still healing, but that only makes the beauty feel more raw, more real, more alive. Here, Catholicism dances with ancient animist beliefs, Portuguese fades into melodic Tetum, and every smile feels like it’s been waiting just for you. Roads wind through coffee plantations and jungle-shrouded hills, then suddenly drop to idyllic white sand beaches where dolphins play just offshore. Only 30 km across glittering straits lies **Atauro Island, a laidback jewel** with 9,000 souls, zero traffic lights, and some of the healthiest coral reefs on earth. Snorkel straight off the beach, hike volcanic ridges at sunrise, then kick back with a cold one while fishermen grill the day’s catch under the palms. And that’s just the warm-up. On this Trekkup, we’ll **chase sunrise from the summit of Mount Ramelau (the highest peak in Timor), wander forgotten coastal villages, swim in hidden lagoons**, and discover places most travelers will never hear about. No crowds. No resorts. Just pure, uncut tropical freedom and the friendliest welcome in Asia. Ready? **Leste GO!** **Day 1 :: Dili** Arrive in Dili, complete immigration formalities, and check in at the hotel followed by a welcome lunch. In the afternoon we visit the vibrant Tais Market, then head to the impressive Cristo Rei statue (third tallest in the world) and the nearby 6-metre statue of Pope John Paul II. For a taste of local culture we can stop at a traditional cockfight. We end the day with sundowners and relaxed beach time at Areia Branca before dinner. **DAY 2: HATUBUILICO – MAUBISSE** After breakfast and hotel check-out, we depart for the highlands with panoramic views over Dili, the bay, and Atauro Island on the horizon. We pause at the serene WWII Memorial, then continue to the historic town of Aileu for lunch at a scenic vanilla farm. The drive continues through rolling green hills and coffee plantations until we reach charming Maubisse. In the evening a traditional welcome ceremony awaits, complete with warm local hospitality. **DAY 3: MT. RAMELAU** Early wake-up, and depart to the trailhead of Mount Ramelau (2,963 m), Timor-Leste’s highest peak. The steady 2 hr ascent brings us to the summit in time for a spectacular sunrise. Cheer up the sunrise with few selfies, descent and reaching the base by mid morning. Return to the guesthouse for breakfast and a quick refresh, then drive back toward Dili with a refreshing stop at Dokomali Falls – a hidden gem where clear mountain water cascades into a natural pool surrounded by lush jungle, perfect for a cool swim, and a light picnic before continuing to the capital. Overnight in Dili. **DAY 4: ATAURO** Morning transfer to the port and a scenic ride to Atauro Island. After settling in, we spend the day snorkelling over vibrant coral reefs and exploring the laid-back main village. Fresh seafood lunch, relaxed beach time, and the gentle rhythm of island life take over. **DAY 5: ATAURO** Breakfast at leisure, followed by a boat trip along the untouched western coast to snorkel at Atekry, Adara, and Iliana are some of the healthiest reefs in the region. Swim with tropical fish and possibly sea turtles, enjoy lunch on a quiet beach, and soak in the serene surroundings. In the late afternoon beachside bonfire, fresh grilled seafood, local music under an endless starry sky. **DAY 6: DILI** Morning boat back to the capital. Ease into the day with authentic Timorese coffee, warm sweet breads, and sasoru grilled corn. Free time for final souvenir shopping at the markets or one last swim. Final overnight in Dili. **DAY 7: DEPARTURE TO BALI** Breakfast and transfer to Dili airport for the short flight back to Bali and onward connections home. You may find yourself already planning your return before the plane even takes off. **Level of difficulty:** Easy and relaxing. **Activities:** Trekking, boating, swimming, sightseeing, snorkelling, optional diving. **Cost:** **7710 AED** excl. flights to JAKARTA / BALI, **incl. connecting flights Bali - Timor**, **until MAY 20.** **Past this date cost will change.** **Accommodation & meals:** Local 4 star hotels + 1 night guesthouse and beach resort - double sharing. Meals excluded. **Visas:** **Visa free or on arrival for all passports!** **Trip starts:** BALI Airport DPS MAY 24 at 07:30 **Trip ends:** BALI Airport DPS MAY 30 at 14:10 See yah in Timor x Trekkup Crew [Whatsapp 050 4848238](https://wa.me/971504848238) / [info@trekkup.com](http://info@trekkup.com/) [Find all trekkups at linktr.ee/trekkup](https://linktr.ee/trekkup)

You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
