Wonderful experience - The tour was sensational. We were only two guests and our professional guide adjusted individually to our wishes. So we could linger longer in the gorge and take pictures. The yurt camp was very good, located right on the lake, fantastic traditional food & hot showers. The eagle show was fantastic! Great to look at these beautiful creatures so close! Comfortable car. My special thanks go to our guide, who has always tried to take care of us! These two days will stay in my memory for a long time!!! Thank you for that!
