Day tour to Ayder

Ayder is a resort town in Eastern Karadeniz region of Turkey, up in the lush Kaçkar Mountains, surrounded by waterfalls and about 2 hrs away from Trabzon. 

I joined a Chinese bacpacker for the tour and we walked through the beautiful mountain scenery towards the 12 km away trail head up to mount Kackar or to the three lakes. It is a popular one week hike in summer. 

We were lucky enough to hitchhike with a local family to the trail head to see the snow and then they kindly shared their outdoor cooked lunch with us.  It was a very pleasant trip.
