Exploring Lukomir village
Present-day Lukomir gives plenty of evidence that the population descended from Podveležje in Herzegovina. Podveležje, the dry plateau above Mostar, could not provide the herds with enough water to sustain these semi-nomadic tribes, over the summer months. Eventually, many of the villagers from the Podvelezje region made permanent settlements in the canyon and later in the place where it is now located.
Why should you take our Lukomir hiking tour?
Lukomir village is interesting for its unique stone houses with cherry-wood roof tiles. Indeed, access to the village is impossible from the first snows in December until late April. The only way to rach it is by skis or on foot. A newly constructed lodge is now complete to receive guests. From there, you can do some magnificent hiking in the area along the ridge of the Rakitnica Canyon. From the edge of the village, located at almost 1,500 meters above the sea level, you will have a breathtaking view of this canyon. Also you can see the neighboring Obalj and Visočica Mountain. On the other side, you can see Igman, a beautiful Olympic mountain.
Lukomir Village is known for its traditional attire
In Lukomir you can still see women wearing traditional hand-knitted costumes that had been worn for centuries. They still knit pretty, colourful things for their children and grandchildren. In general, you will see how does everyday life in Lukomir Village look – a normal life, but without electricity, water or internet we are now used to.
Of course, you will be able to try delicious traditional Bosnian food. So, our Lukomir hiking tour will give you an amazing experience.

This tour to Lukomir was an unforgettable experience and a real highlight of my time in Bosnia. The hike itself was absolutely stunning—amazing mountain views, fresh air, and peaceful surroundings that made it easy to disconnect and just enjoy nature.
What really made the trip special, though, was our guide, Ahmed. He was friendly, professional, and full of insight—not just about the nature and trails, but also about Bosnian culture, history, and everyday life. He made the whole group feel welcome and kept the energy positive throughout the day, while also being super attentive to everyone’s pace and comfort.
Reaching Lukomir was like stepping into another world. The village is quiet, authentic, and full of character. Having the chance to talk with some of the locals and enjoy a traditional meal there added so much depth to the experience. It didn’t feel touristy at all—just genuine and meaningful.
If you’re looking to get out of the city and experience a different side of Bosnia, I highly recommend this tour. And if you get Ahmed as your guide, consider yourself lucky—he truly made the day one to remember.

It was an extreme pleasure to go on the Lukomir Village hike tour. Ahmed Frljak is a great guide, easy to communicate with and very kind, helpful. The group was extremely fun too, and all of us enjoyed the entire journey, and it felt like we knew each other from before by the end of it. The stop at the village was lovely, the food was delicious and the pickup and the drop off were smooth as well. Highly recommend them for day tours, especially this one!

We realy liked the tour, it was a 19 km long walk with a great view. 9.5 km one way with a stop for some great bosnian good. We had a great time and Ahmed was a nice guide.

Our snow hike in Sarajevo with Alan was a great experience. Communication beforehand was smooth, and our driver was accommodating, allowing us to finish breakfast. Bjelašnica was stunning, though the climb was tricky, with some slips along the way. The hike was quick and moderately challenging—not too difficult but still adventurous. Alan was a knowledgeable guide, making the trip enjoyable. Overall, a well-organized and rewarding experience!
