Beautiful 2 day hike with... - Beautiful 2 day hike with great guides Pavel and Nikolay! Overnight stay in the Ivan Vazov hut which is no frills but has everything you need. About 9.5mi hike each day, finishing at the beautiful Rila Monastery. Pavel and Nikolay were friendly, helpful, and called beforehand to go over what to pack and what to expect. Would definitely recommend them again!

Seven Rila lakes to Rila monastery quided trek. - Two days which we will remember forever. From Rila Lakes to Rila Monestery. The walk was challenging, over mountainous terrain, but we kept a steady pace and felt well prepared. Overnight accommodation was very basic but the big surprise was dinner and breakfast — both delicious. Thank you to Niki and Zahari for looking after us so well.
