Park Blini Shala River

Some private companies occupied a precious natural habitat and even if they could exploit this place for their own benefit - it is way worse than only that. If you want to enjoy this unique place be aware there is techno and pop music out of many loudspeakers louder than in any disco echoing through the gorge. There is loads of plastic trash, bottles without tethered cups and no one cares or reminds the thoughtless guests to use trash bins. When you go there by boat the company owner / guides are very friendly, no doubt. They built a wooden lodge as a restaurant and you can oply hope and presume that all the trash and faeces are properly disposed. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to be the case. But the companies exploiting this natural habitat should comply with the side effects of their business like making the guests during the boat ride aware of the nature's vulnerability and to take trash with themselves. Also they should use an amount of the very good money they make to pay a garbage collection boat which goes along the shores of the lakes and along the surfaces. We counted endless plastic bottles, plastic trash and single flip flops floating on the water and being stranded on the shores. This could be huge marketing tool and I am very sure that 95% of the people would come to Park Blini for river bank and consume drinks and food also if there would be no crazy loud disco music which you have in any club and beach worldwide. It completely devalues this unique place way more than it deserves unfortunately.

My friend and I stayed here for 2 days. The location was absolutely unreal and we have never seen anything like it. However, there were a few things that we were appalled by. - staff members - female staff member at the bar/restaurant was very rude. Didn’t give us any information about our water issues, how the generator gets turned off for certain times of the day etc. We had to go back to her about 4 times to get any answers. The male staff were very creepy and would always stare at you. Got asked to go back to one of their rooms and said very very inappropriate comments about body types and lots of other things throughout our stay - music - music was so loud that you couldn’t actually enjoy yourself. There were lots of families around and the music was very inappropriate - ANIMALS - the animals are not looked after at all and the staff do not seem to care. There is a male dog that gets tied up all day and does not have any water. I took the dog some water on the scorching day it was and he literally had 3 bottles full as there was no water around where he was tied up on the short leash. Not a very nice way for a dog to live. I did talk to many staff members about the lack of water he had and they did not care. The horses were the same. Tied up with absolutely no water Overall we did enjoy our stay however the above made us very uncomfortable and unsafe. We actually couldn’t wait to leave
