No, activities that require transportation specific to the region’s geography (Van Lake Akdamar boat tour) and that have a local entertainment culture (Caucasus Night) are organized as extra (optional), leaving them to our guests’ own preferences. Guests who wish to participate in these activities can easily make a reservation by registering their names with our guide during the tour.

During the November mid-term break, Eastern Anatolia (especially the Kars and Erzurum region) begins to feel winter conditions. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you make sure to have thermal underwear, fleece, a thick winter coat that is windproof/waterproof, a beanie, scarf, gloves, and a comfortable winter hiking boot that does not slip and keeps your feet warm in your suitcase. Clothing that you can layer will help you easily adapt to the temperature inside the bus/train and the cold weather outside.

Yes, the Eastern Express train ticket is included in our tour fee. This nostalgic journey, which lasts from Kars Train Station to Sarıkamış on the 4th day of our program, is made in "Pullman Seat" arrangement. Depending on the winter season demand, if there is a seating issue caused by TCDD, the journey may be compensated with an unnumbered carriage, the restaurant section, or a road vehicle transfer.

In our tours by plane, in order for check-in procedures to be completed smoothly, it is mandatory to provide our agency, at the time of reservation, with your full name, surname, and Turkish ID number exactly as written on your identity card, completely and accurately. Bellima Tur is not responsible for flight cancellations arising from incorrect information being provided.
