Overview

The Shepherd's Way Albania tours are unique because we are the only social business which operates for/by Malësorë shepherds to support the local community in the region of Kelmend directly.
Although many tourism operators exist in other parts of northern Albania, such as in Theth and Valbona, there are not many which give travellers a chance to spend time with locals in this part of the Albanian Alps or that offer the opportunity to experience and support the preservation of the authentic life of Malësorë shepherds.
