Carpathian Mountains Guide

The steep forested slopes of the mountains, fast-flowing bubbling streams with pure ice-cold water, fresh air and fantastic scenery – this is the Carpathian mountains, one the most picturesque and ecologically clean regions in Ukraine.
If you enjoy hiking, this is an excellent destination.

We are inviting you to an exiting walking tour to the mountains with a professional guide Vasyl Kobylyuk who has more than 30 years of experience.

Vasyl Kobylyuk has been on walking tours around the whole former Soviet Union, including such difficult areas as Siberia and the Caucasus. He has been awarded some major national prizes for his high achievements in the sphere of tourism and he has saved a lot of lives working as a professional mountain rescuer.

The program of the tour might include:
walking and riding tours in the mountains (the level of difficulty and the duration of the tour depending totally on your desire and fitness); the ascent to the major Carpathian peaks, including the highest peak in Ukraine – mount Hoverla (2061m). The Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko has ascended this mountain 30 times. Why don't you try to do the same?

Do not miss the opportunity to enjoy the marvelous pollution-free nature of the Carpathians – their alpine meadows (polonyna), fir-tree forests, numerous rivulets and glacial lakes.
-    rafting, mountain climbing, skiing and snowboarding, bathing and fishing in the mountain streams, enjoying barbecue in the mountains.
- discover the Hutsul culture: their traditional way of life, cuisine, musical instruments, arts and crafts, visiting the museum of painted Easter eggs (pysanka) in Kolomyia
- visiting some famous places in the area, such as Yaremche, Kosiv, Vorokhta, Kryvorivnya and others.
We also provide all the necessary tourist equipment, accommodation and transport.
If you like to experience the real Ukrainian lifestyle from the inside, Vasyl Kobylyuk would be happy to provide accommodation in his apartment in the picturesque settlement of Verhovyna (Ivano-Frankivsk region). You will have a brilliant opportunity to live in the Ukrainian family, to taste home-made food and liquors and practice some Russian or Ukrainian.
