From Tunceli
Discover the wild, unspoiled landscapes of northern Tunceli on this relaxing full-day tour from Tunceli. Travelling with a professional English-speaking guide, you will explore the lush Pulumur Valley, swim in natural creek ponds, admire spectacular waterfalls and stand before the region's highest peak. This Tunceli day trip is ideal for nature lovers, photographers and anyone seeking an authentic daily excursion into one of Turkey's least-discovered corners.
Your day tour begins in Kutudere, a verdant spot celebrated across the region for the purity of its spring water and its tranquil setting. In the warmer months, visitors flock here to bathe in the ponds of the Pulumur creek, and local food and drink services make it easy to spend a leisurely few hours by the water.
Continuing through the valley, you will visit Dereova Waterfall, whose countless natural charms change with the seasons, followed by Zenginpinar Waterfall – also known locally as Zageli – and the picturesque Karagol Cascade. The Weeping Rocks of the Pulumur Valley take their name from the water that endlessly trickles down the cliff face; during the cold winter months these drips freeze into glittering ice columns, creating a favourite backdrop for photographers.
The grand finale of this daily tour is Mount Bagirpasa, Tunceli's highest summit, crowned by a Crater Lake that remains snowy throughout the year. Whether you visit in green summer or white winter, the views are unforgettable. After a full day in nature, you will be transferred comfortably back to your hotel in Tunceli.
Practical notes: This is a relaxed-pace tour suitable for all ages (0–99). Bring swimwear and a towel in summer if you wish to swim, and warm clothing in winter. Lunch and drinks are not included, so you may wish to bring some spending money.

The first stop is Kutudere, a much-loved natural retreat renowned for its exceptionally pure drinking water and lush scenery. In summer you can swim in the refreshing ponds of the Pulumur creek, where food and beverage services are available for those who work up an appetite.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
