The hike was really awesome, but veeeery tough. Every day, my tracker showed a few kilometers more than planned. But the beauty was incredible—the views from the peaks more than made up for any shortcomings. A special thanks to Tymlider for such hearty meals and some beautiful spots
I really loved it)))
For those who love the mountains but don’t have anyone to go with, I highly recommend the “Kuluar” hiking club. Our guide, Oleksandr, is a true professional—he created a very pleasant and friendly atmosphere and thought everything through down to the smallest details, so we could just enjoy the trip. And he’s such a great cook ☺️
The hike left me with nothing but the best memories. Thank you for the wonderful experiences and unforgettable adventures!
A challenging but very rewarding and picturesque route. From barren ridges to dense forest and the source of the Black Tisa. Sheep and cows with bells, horses, homemade cheese, luxurious campsites, wonderful company, and that exhilarating joy of overcoming the physical challenges of ascents and descents with a 12+ kg backpack. As always, a perfectly planned and organized hike—from the meal plan to the timing. Vira undoubtedly has a whole host of superpowers, and I know of a few for sure: the ability to keep everything under control, get everything done on time, draw energy from thin air, and the skill to cook delicious meals in the backcountry. Five breakfasts and five dinners—not a single repeat; each time a different, consistently delicious and nutritious meal. Thank you for the picturesque trails of Svidovets and the Gorgany, for the lively and friendly atmosphere, and for the unbeatable deliciousness)))
I’ll leave a memory here of a magical place that seems to have emerged from a fairy tale—the village of Vel-le-Roz.
It’s no wonder this village is ranked among the 100 most picturesque villages in France.
Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas loved to stay here; time seems to have stood still in these little streets.
I definitely want to come back here, stroll leisurely through the streets, and soak up the atmosphere of Normandy.
Thank you to Victoria—our favorite tour leader—for this beauty, and to kuluar for organizing such tours.
Working with Oleksandra is an experience I’d highly recommend to everyone. She makes you feel cared for even before you set out on the trail. Her professionalism and compassion are impeccable.
And Natalia Shelepyuk 🤩
I want to say a lot about her separately.
She is courageous, strong, sincere, attentive, caring, wise, and incredibly inspiring.
A team leader who doesn’t just lead—she instills confidence, calm, and the feeling that you’re capable of more than you thought.
Thank you for this hike—
for the organization, for the support, for the humanity, for the strength, for the emotions.
You’re doing incredible work—and you’re doing it with love.
You can feel it in every step, every word, and every day in the mountains.
This was an adventure hike to climb three peaks: V. Syvulya, M. Syvulya, and Kin Grofetsky. Although it was extremely hot, a pleasant bonus awaited us—swimming in a mountain river, which was just what we needed. Our group leader, Valya, is the life of the party and a truly positive person. Evening gatherings around the campfire, sharing all sorts of interesting stories. P.S.: “If you’re heading to the mountains—go with KULUAR 💚”
Oleksandr is an incredible guide! He always created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Sasha made sure everyone in our group felt comfortable. He’s a wonderful listener and storyteller, especially when it comes to the mountains)) I’ll definitely be back, and I highly recommend him to everyone!
That was really cool for our first hike. The weather worked out perfectly. A special thanks to our team leaders, Oleg Sava and Taras Zembitsky, for an interesting trip to Hoverla. The borscht for dinner was delicious
If you start missing the city, it means your hike in the mountains was a success. You can’t help but love a hike to Pip Ivan. The scenery is breathtaking. Sasha is a really cool tour leader. He won’t set off until he’s made sure everyone’s backpacks are comfortable; he feeds everyone first, then eats himself. He’s great at communicating and will answer all your questions, even if they’re silly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
An exhilarating trek with a variety of landscapes, sights, and emotions. A fantastic Ukrainian tour leader who takes his job very seriously—which is crucial for this kind of trip. A great and warm-hearted local guide. Excellent support from the travel consultant on all matters. This is my second trip with Kuluar, and it definitely won’t be my last
It was my first time trying kayaking. It was a great weekend—we had a wonderful, friendly group, and our team leader was fantastic. I really enjoyed the food cooked over an open fire; there was plenty for everyone—sweet and savory dishes, and plenty to drink. The kayaking trip itself went well—we kept a pretty steady pace, no one drifted too far ahead, and we waited for those who occasionally fell behind. I want to point out that you absolutely must bring sunscreen and a long-sleeved shirt, since it’s very easy to get sunburned on the water, and your legs are no exception. Also, people who aren’t very fit should be prepared for some mild muscle soreness, since we don’t usually use the muscle groups involved in kayaking in our daily lives. Overall, we were left with nothing but positive impressions: the food was delicious, the kayaks were in excellent condition, and the trip leader was knowledgeable and positive.
I’d like to sincerely thank you for the wonderfully organized rafting trip down the Ros River! I had an incredible experience, a flood of positive emotions, and unforgettable memories.
A special thank you to our team leaders—Oleksandr and Oleksandra. They are incredibly attentive, friendly, and responsible people. They were always there for us, helping with any issues, fostering a friendly atmosphere, and ensuring the comfort and safety of every participant.
Thanks to their professionalism, sincerity, and good spirits, the trip went smoothly, was interesting, and felt very heartwarming. It was a pleasure to be part of such a wonderful team.
The hike went wonderfully and exceeded our expectations! We were lucky with the weather—the second day on the Chornogora Range itself was sunny, which allowed us to climb all the peaks (including Guten Tomnatik, which wasn’t even on the itinerary!) and admire the panoramic views, even though it rained on the first and third days. Special thanks to the team leader for suggesting we watch the sunrise on Turkul—it was one of the most memorable moments of the hike. And sincere thanks to Kuluar for their attention to detail—from the hub’s early opening to the option to rent all the necessary gear. The team was fantastic, so everything went smoothly 👍
Thank you for a wonderful trip to the mountains!
The first day was tough—I had leg cramps—but thanks to Denis’s support, I didn’t give up, overcame the challenges, and successfully completed the route. It’s moments like these that make overcoming your own limits especially rewarding!
A special thanks for the incredibly delicious banosh!
I’m left with nothing but pleasant impressions, fond memories, and a desire to head back to the mountains. Thank you all for the great atmosphere, support, and excellent organization!
Oleksandr is one of the best trip leaders we’ve ever gone hiking with. He’s an interesting person with a great sense of humor who can tell you a lot about the mountains—and much more.
The hike was wonderful, and for that we’re very grateful to Oleksandr and Kuluar.
It was a tour that had it all: breathtaking nature, active recreation, the ocean, delicious food, great company, comfortable accommodations, and professional organization. It’s a trip I’d highly recommend and will remember for a very long time.
The tour was incredibly well-planned: a packed itinerary, smooth logistics, and a wonderful balance between hikes and relaxing on the coast.
I was particularly impressed that the experience didn’t lose its luster as the days went by—on the contrary, every new island, trail, and landscape amazed us even more.
I’d like to give special mention to the organization. Any unforeseen circumstances were handled quickly and professionally. It was clear that our tour leader, Tanya Franchuk, lives in the region and knows all the local ins and outs, routes, logistics, and weather nuances inside and out, which allowed us to make the most of every day of the trip.
A pleasant bonus was the well-chosen hotels with stunning views and the chance to sample the local cuisine.
The climb to Pico will remain a special memory. It was an incredible experience. A big thank you to Tanya for her support, motivation, and well-thought-out plans. I definitely want to go on the Azores 2.0 tour
Oleksandr is a wonderful team leader. During the hike, he looked out for every member of the group, set a comfortable pace, and created a friendly atmosphere. Oleksandr also knows the mountains really well—he can easily tell you exactly which mountain you’re looking at. He also often shared various historical facts about the area. I highly recommend him)
Oleksandr is the best team leader!
This was my first hike on a challenging route, and Oleksandr was always there to help. He knew exactly where the tough spots were, was understanding throughout the entire hike, supported us in difficult situations, and always kept a positive attitude. Oleksandr’s interesting stories and tales about the mountains added a special atmosphere to the hike.
I highly recommend hiking with Oleksandr!
