Named after the stone tower that protected my family for centuries

ku·la (n.) · a fortified stone tower house of the Balkan highlands

For centuries a kula was where travellers found a fire, a meal and a safe night before the next pass. We run our trips the same way: a warm base, a local host, and the mountains right outside the door.

Kula Adventures was born after founder and guide Emir Cirikovic abandoned his life in America in search of something more in the land of his ancestors. He spent all his time exploring the Accursed Mountain Range. On his travels he acquired a great deal of knowledge and experience in the area and found himself unknowingly becoming a guide in the process.

Emir spent his time picking up travelers, hosting them in his home and taking them on his adventures in the mountains for fun. He didn’t realize it at the time, but in these experiences he found what he was looking for. He felt the impact that these outings had on his new friends and was moved by it. This love for spreading the spirit of adventure slowly evolved and Kula Adventures was born.
