6500 feet above sea level in the Taurus Mountain highlands you'll find the pilgrimage centre of the south west of Turkey & Green Lake. Tapestry Collection can arrange a hike up the steep slopes to this nationally renowned sacred spot, which also involves a walk through the nearby nomadic town of Gombe.
Green Lake is a great outing for those interested in walking in the pastures of the Taurus Mountain highlands and learning about the semi-nomadic way of life that dominates the peaks all summer-long. The brilliant Green Lake is 6500 ft above sea level and is a pilgrimage centre to which people come from every corner of the country to drink its sacred healing water. Green Lake is situated near the semi nomadic town of Gombe where you will have the opportunity to wander around the lively local market where nomads sell their products. After lunch the journey starts again with a wonderful view of the valley of the Green Lake and the waterfall.
Initial journey: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Things to take: Sensible shoes, hat, camera
