Trekking in the spectacular scenery of the Carpathian mountains, plus a visit to beautiful Prague
The Carpathians of Slovakia have an enormously varied landscape, changing in a short distance from open pastures and dense pine forests to bare mountain ridges and jagged alpine peaks. Our itinerary is based around three different centres, enabling us to explore the diverse walking on offer in the various ranges. We begin in the Mala Fatra, where secluded valleys preserve a traditional agricultural lifestyle and deep gorges lie beneath towering pinnacles and grassy ridges. Moving on to the High Tatras, an excellent system of mountain trails leads into the heart of the mountains, providing numerous walking possibilities from broad glacial valleys and inviting tarns to high passes and saddles. One of the more strenuous walks is the ascent of Rysy (2499m), which straddles the border with Poland. Our final walking base is Stary Smokovec in the White Tatras, a popular start point for many excellent walks. We end in Prague, widely held to be Europe's most beautiful capital, a lively city in which to relax and explore the fascinating streets and squares.

WHAT THE PRICE INCLUDES
In all the items below, “included” means either in the price or in a specified “local payment”.
Flights
The prices include flights from a UK airport to the destination airport and back, UK departure tax, all necessary domestic flights on the trip itinerary and all airport transfers. If you do not need our group flights, please ask for the “land only” prices. If you book at the “land only” price, international flights and related airport transfers are not included, but domestic flights generally are, except where tickets for these have to be issued in conjunction with your international ticket.
Accommodation
This is included in the price. If you’re camping, we provide sturdy two-person tents and all necessary communal camping and cooking gear, so you will just need to bring a sleeping bag and, on most trips, a sleeping mat.
Single rooms or tents
Our prices are based on twin share accommodation. If you book your own (many people do), we arrange for you to share with a person of the same sex. We do not charge a single supplement except on extensions. Where it is operationally possible to do so, we offer an optional single supplement in the price list. On some trips it is not possible to do so, we offer an optional single supplement in the price list. On some trips it is not possible to guarantee single accommodation for the whole tour; where this is the case further information and prices can be found in the Trip Notes. If you would like a single room or tent on a particular holiday you should contact the office for details. Where we are unable to guarantee single accommodation you may be able to arrange and pay for it locally. If you are a smoker we ask you not to smoke in your room or tent if sharing. Please note on certain trips single accommodation is not available due to local operational conditions.
Food
Meal plans vary according to area and circumstances: for every trip, details of what is included are shown in the Food section of each trip, and in the Trip Notes.

All necessary transport during the trip is included, whether private or public.
Sightseeing
Included wherever it is part of the itinerary (as stated in the Trip Notes). There are usually optional trips too.
