Here, you can observe these fascinating animals up close and learn interesting facts and anecdotes from a knowledgeable local guide.

There are two sessions – morning and afternoon – so you can choose your preferred time.

    Don't forget to bring a backpack, comfortable walking shoes, water, and perhaps binoculars to discover all the valley's secrets!
