Mostar's Old Bridge over the Neretva river on a Serbia Bosnia tour package from India

Why Safari Sutra?

Most Balkan tours from India fly in and out of Dubrovnik and treat Bosnia as a day trip; we cross overland from Belgrade through the mountains, ride the Šargan Eight and cross the Drina at Višegrad, so the journey between capitals tells its own story. Local historian-guides in each country handle the difficult history with care, and we plan the visa route for your specific passport before you book.
