April and May are definitely the most popular months for rafting.

In July and August on Tara river it’s better then in paradise. By day the temperatures are typically over thirty-five degrees Celsius, while the colour of the river gets incredible turquoise shine. A camera is something you would regret not to hold in your hands while in such an ambience. When the night falls, even though it is summertime, the location of the camp and the immediate vicinity of the river will affect the temperature. Chilly nights are great for sleeping, but to put it simply: `It’s never too much clothes if you are on rafting on the Tara.`

You may need all types of stuff when on water: cigarettes, a lighter, camera, `rakija`, beer, a T-shirt… and a number of those things shouldn`t get wet. That’s why, before going on rafting, you ought to find a little higher quality nylon bag to safeguard your things from water, but still it is better to possess a plastic barrel with a lid. Some folks came up with a nice plan and kept their cameras in plastic Chinese bowls for food. I am sure you know which ones I have in mind? You’ll buy them in sets from the biggest to the tiniest, they need lids, and they’re great for Russian salad.

The tour through Perucica- the only forest in Europe, is also one of the choices, and if you choose mountain climbing and hiking around the lakes or in the forest, adequate shoes and clothes are quite necessary.
