A peaceful walk. A healing tradition. A timeless connection.

Welcome to the Basha Donkey Farm — a special place where people slow down, reconnect
with nature, and experience the gentle world of donkeys. Nestled in the Albanian countryside,
our family-run farm invites you to join a one-of-a-kind walking journey in the company of our
40+ affectionate donkeys.

The Donkey Walk


This 30–40 minute walk, guided by our friendly animals and experienced hosts, offers more

than just a stroll it’s a return to simplicity. Feel the rhythm of nature, breathe in the fresh air,

and connect deeply with one of the most underrated animals on the planet.

Each donkey has its own name and personality. Before we begin, take time to brush your

donkey it\'s a moment of bonding that starts your walk with a smile.


Learn Along the Way

As you walk, you’ll stop at interactive stations that reveal the remarkable secrets of donkey milk
prized since antiquity for its healing, nutritious, and revitalizing effects. More than just a drink,
it’s a legacy of wellbeing.

milking practices to preserve land and tradition.


Milking Demonstration & Tasting

After the walk, sample fresh donkey milk, locally made cheese, and warm village bread (kulaç)
straight from the oven. If you’re feeling brave, finish with a glass of our homemade raki!
