The first three days of the six-day Svydovets-Horgany hike were extremely hard: constantly uphill, rain, wind, sun, mud, dense juniper thickets, a cold sleeping bag, no toilet, no shower, no hot water... I almost broke. But thanks to our guide Oleh Savva, who deliberately didn't show me the way leading to the nearest village, who with his professionalism, humor, and delicious food made me keep moving, enjoy myself, and admire the views, I survived all the days and feel fantastic. Special thanks to our group (true Kuluar people!) for their support and endurance! You guys are awesome! Evenings by the campfire, witty jokes, and rolling synchronized laughter erase the memory of tough climbs, damp clothes, and cold nights. The atmosphere that reigned throughout the hike makes me reconsider the dates of the next hikes and press the "book now" button. Now I fully realize the depth of the motto "If it's the mountains — then it's with Kuluar"
