How far can pleasure truly extend? What depths can tranquillity reach? How profound is the connection one can experience with nature?

For those who have a passion for mountains, lush vegetation, and rugged rocky landscapes, a visit to the Katharo Plateau is an absolute must. This stunning plateau is home to thousands of sheep and goats, which graze on its slopes and contribute to the production of top-quality dairy products.

Katharo holds significant scientific interest as researchers and palaeontologists have made notable discoveries of fossils belonging to pygmy hippos and elephants. These findings shed light on the ancient history and evolution of the region.
