First and foremost, I’d like to thank the organizers at Kuluar for giving me the chance to explore the vastness of the Carpathian Mountains, their secrets, and their breathtaking landscapes. This isn’t the first time I’ve joined Kuluar on a mountain climb. I want to highlight the excellent work of the consultant, who provides comprehensive information regarding the climb and the hike through the Carpathian towns (what items you might need, advice on the quality of your gear, weather conditions during the hike, and support right up until the moment you are handed over to the team leader’s care). A special big thank you to team leader Lesya for sharing the history of the Carpathian region, for the delicious snacks, and for the unforgettable views of the Carpathian mountains. Lesya is our team leader—experienced, cheerful, decisive, knowledgeable, and has excellent organizational skills. I highly recommend her as a guide. I always try to photograph the amazing landscapes, but I realized that photos can’t capture the atmosphere and the feelings I experience when I’m at the summit! I recommend experiencing these incredible impressions for yourselves, as they say, “in person.”
