IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE TOUR

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Please note that water levels in Komani Lake are regulated by the state for hydroelectric power production. During certain periods of the year, especially in spring and autumn, the water level may be lower than usual.

In these cases, boats may not always be able to reach the final docking point in the Shala River, and a short walking distance (approximately 300–400 meters) may be required.

This is a natural and operational condition beyond our control, and it does not affect the overall beauty and experience of the tour. Our team always ensures the best possible route and a safe, enjoyable journey for all guests.
