The first small town on the way down, before the road meets the M-3 at Jasenovo Polje and runs on towards Nikšić.
The route passes the edge of Nikšić; a stop in the centre for lunch is easy to add.
After Čevo the road crosses the plateau to Njeguši, the village at the head of the mountain road that drops to the bay.
The last stretch winds down the Kotor mountain road to the edge of the Old Town. We drop off at your hotel, apartment or address in Kotor or around the bay — send the exact address with your request.

Kotor → Žabljak →From Žabljak to Kotor is about 154 km by road. The route leaves Durmitor on the M-6 through Šavnik, joins the M-3 south to Nikšić, takes the R-17 via Riđani and Čevo across to Njeguši and then descends the Kotor mountain road to the bay. It stays inland until the final descent and does not pass through Podgorica. Allow about 3h 15m without stops.
The driver chooses the road on the day. The measured way comes down the Njeguši mountain road straight to Kotor; an alternative runs from Nikšić via Grahovo and reaches the bay at Risan. In winter the road via Šavnik and Nikšić avoids the high Sedlo pass, which is usually closed then; allow extra time for snow. Montenegro’s winter-tyre season runs from 15 November 2026 to 1 April 2027.
