Top tips for hiking in the Kackar Mountains in Turkey Learn more

While the picturesque scenes in the national park, and the exciting prospect of conquering the Kaçkar Dagi (the highest peak in the range, at 12,917 ft) might tempt you to put a hike up the Kackar Mountains on your list of things to do in Turkey, planning the excursion is not likely to be easy. In addition to finding suitable accommodation, it is also essential to look for a good guide so you do not get lost and make the most of your trip. Shabby accommodation, getting ripped off, or ending up with a guide who doesn’t know how to speak English are the stuff of tourist nightmares, and avoiding them is key if you are looking for a hike to remember.
A superb mountain range located in northeastern Turkey, the Kackar Mountains rise high above the Black Sea coast and stand as a barrier between Anatolia and the Black Sea. While the area is incredibly bio-diverse, including everything from upland pastures, a lush evergreen forest, three glaciers and several glacial lakes, trekkers from all across the world travel to the area specifically for the sake of a spectacular hiking experience. Guaranteeing a perfect hiking excursion in the Kackar Mountains is not easy – however, my guide does just that.
