Itinerary
Funky Guest House and Adventures invites you to join them on this amazing horse trekking trip. We operate in both sides of Vjosa river which is the last wild river in Europe and National Park. One of the most visited attractions in the south of Albania. A perfect place that is known for its traditional cuisine, hospitality, characteristic villages like Benja, Ogdunani, Leuse, Badlonje with its stone houses, cobblestones, cold-water springs and old churches with amazing paintings. Based on the experience of the riders, they will choose the trail that you will follow, but the favorite is alongside the beautiful Lengarica canyon which is an old trail that used to connect several villages in the area during ancient times. On these trails you will cross beautiful landscape, visit old villages, churches, valleys, springs where we will stop for a short break for some snacks, fruits and local wine. These are beautiful trail as you will pass gorgeous hills, breathtaking views, beautiful canyon, old ruins, and probably, come across sheep herds and goats. After the trip, you can enjoy the thermal baths which are 20min way from our town where you can relax in the pools and explore the canyon.

Let me start my review by saying - Horse riding experience is for everyone. I had zero idea how to ride a horse before but still I made it and have nice memories from this experience. Picturesque views, professional support from Avenir (the owner) and friendly horses makes this activity definitely a „must-do” while being in Permet.

If you want to experience Albania from a different perspective, saddle up with Funky Adventures and explore the beautiful Albanian countryside on horseback. The owner clearly has a deep love for horses, evident not just for profit. We had a wonderful morning with them and saw places we wouldn't have discovered on our own!

We had an unforgettable hike through the beautiful mountains of Permet and along the river side Vjosa. The spring blossoms, shepherds with sheep on the way provide a beautiful landscape and gave us splendid pictures....
We loved every moment of it.

We had an absolutely brilliant day with Avenir horse-trekking in the hills surrounding Permet. It was the most incredible experience and a highlight of our trip to Albania. Avenir was so friendly and kind. He took lots of brilliant photos and videos throughout so we were left with a great collection of memories. We would recommend as a must for anyone visiting Albania.

My husband and I throughly enjoyed the horse riding activity with Funky Adventures. The guides were entertaining, kind and ensured our safety from beginning until the end. The views we saw were nothing short of amazing! Spring was springing, and overall this was an experience we will not soon forget. Shout out to our guides Avenir and Lili, Joey the dog, and of course our gorgeous horses Chili and George 💖 Thank you Funky Adventures! We shall see you again next time

What an amazing experience! Don't miss out. The views , the horses , the service. Absolutely stunning. We were a bit hesitant when we first booked the trip because none of us had any prior experience riding but the tour guides definitely came through and took all measures for us to feel safe and well prepared for the experience. It's absolutely brilliant

We went to Funky's Amazing Horse Riding Adventure and had a really great time.
Avenir is a very kind guide and pays attention to all his "flock". And Lili also seems very nice.
Besides a ride on super well maintained and well kept horses, we got to see the full beauty of Permet's surroundings and were also fortified for the way back during the break with fresh fruit, cookies, water and a good sip of sangria.
We were a small group and felt well taken care of at all times. Who dares it, is also allowed to ride faster with his horse.
All in all, a great experience, which Avenir also sweetened with free pictures and videos in the episode.

The horse ride through the scenic, undulating hills around Përmet was breathtaking. The journey was splendidly guided. The guides ensured our experience was save but also adventurous. The trips are worked out depending on the level of experience of the participants. In this way, even novices in horse riding can have a joyful day.
Experiencing the beautiful Albanian landscape on the back of a horse was an activity never to be forgotten.
About halfway we were offered drinks and some snacks while the horses were grazing and drinking.
The horses were well-trained and were very gentle and docile even for those with minimal experience. The equestrian adventure offered by Funky Adventures is highly recommended for all who want to enjoy the Albanian nature near Përmet in an adventurous way.
