Although travelers can embark on the hike to Valbona and Theth independently, taking a guided tour offers many benefits. Such tours are often facilitated by locals with extensive knowledge of the region and can provide insights on the topography, culture, and history of the region. They're conversant with the local languages and can assist with communication. Furthermore, guided tours may arrange for equipment, accommodation, and necessary permits, thereby making your trek stress-free and enjoyable. Show more
