Know before you go

Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring Prokletije.

Hire a local guide for more challenging hikes to ensure safety and to gain deeper insights into the region's natural and cultural history.
Visit during the spring or autumn months to avoid the summer heat and enjoy the vibrant colors of the changing seasons.
Carry sufficient water and snacks, as amenities can be sparse once you are deep within the national park.
Respect local customs and traditions when visiting villages, and try to learn a few basic phrases in Montenegrin to enhance your experience.
