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 start you'll probably feel a double temptation as to what country, and thus what rafting camp to settle on for your host.

The season of rafting on the river Tara starts around April 15 and lasts until the tip of September. Throughout that period (concerning 6 months) the inflaw of water in the Tara riverbed decreases considerably, which is directly related to melting of the snow cover. If the winter has been cold and snowy, you must expect white water rafting on the Tara to be much more exciting.

April and May are undoubtedly the most popular months for rafting. The adrenalin rush on the Tara in April is something you can not feel within the rapids throughout alternative months, but considerably lower temperatures during this half of year should additionally be taken into consideration, which is why our recommendation is to by no means bring a few deciliters of quality homemade plum brandy (`prepecenica`). After sunset it can get chilly even when you are near the fire with plum brandy, therefore, it's extremely desirable to own warmer garments and shoes.

In July and August it is real paradise on the Tara river. By day the temperatures are typically over thirty-five degrees Celsius, while the colour of the river gets pure emerald shine. A camera is one thing you would regret not to hold in your hands while being in such an ambience. When the night falls, even though it is summertime, the location of the camp and the immediate vicinity of the river can have an effect on the temperature. Fresh nights are great for sleeping, but to put it simply: `It is never an excessive amount of garments if you're on rafting on the Tara.`

A camera, beer, lighter, cigarettes are several of the items some of us wouldn't like to be without even when on water...but still, they ought to remain dry. A bit higher quality plastic bag will give sufficient protection. Nevertheless, a plastic barrel with a lid is not a bad plan, either. A little bit more ingenious option for cameras are plastic bowls for food. I'm positive you are familiar with which ones I mean? You can find them in `Chinese stores`...They're available in numerous sizes, from the tiniest to the largest, so that your camera can positively be safe.

If you're keen on nature and if you are already within the national reserve Sutjeska, don`t waste your time. Nature was generous when creating mountain Zelengora. Organise mountain climbing and a tour to Trnovacko Lake, visit White and Black Lake. The same refers to Orlovacko, Borilovacko, Kotlarnicko, Stirijsko and Jugovo Lake-the sole artificial one.

If you are on your way to Trnovacko Lake, do not forget to visit Perucica to enjoy the view of the waterfall Skakavac. The tour through Perucica- the sole forest in Europe, is also 1 of the options, and if you opt for mountain climbing and hiking around the lakes or within the forest, adequate shoes and garments are more than necessary. The path to Trnovacko Lake is rocky, therefore, any lack of adequate and quality footwear enhances the danger of getting injured or tripping and falling. The risk of getting injured or falling down along the rocky path to Trnovacko Lake is big if you don't follow your guide`s directions or lack appropriate equipment. The walking path through this distinctive area goes over very steep slopes and descents, which significantly slows down the pace, but increases tiredness. Before you get to be tired you must bear in mind to take a towel and your bathing suit that can be more than useful when you reach the lake, although their `massive` weight on your back can surely get on your nerves. Before setting off an adventurer ought to fill their rucksack with a few sandwiches, a bottle of water, bathing suit, towel, an additional T-shirt and a lot of chocolates to eat in moments of exhaustion, hunger, but of pleasure, too.

When in nature you actually don't need your cell, and even 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 is 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 just some of the species. If you are a nutritionist, completely different types of mushrooms can be possible to find, as well as various other fruits and vegetables. It must additionally be stressed that this region abounds in springs which in most cases abound in fresh drinkable water.

As I've mentioned in the beginning, now you recognize what to expect while overwhelmed by natural beauties, and adventures waiting to be experienced. It is up to you which tours to settle on aside from rafting adventures on the Tara itself . There is 1 more thing I would like to advise you on and that's to take your passport for crossing the borders. As for the borders... it's interesting that a tour to Trnovacko Lake means that during the hiking route you cross the border between Bosnia and Montenegro and Montenegro. The best and shortest routes to Trnovacko Lake, which is located in Montenegro, lead through the Republis of Srpska.
