Questions About This Tour
June to August offers the best chances, especially at dawn and dusk near Sheosar Lake. We cannot guarantee sightings as these are wild animals, but our naturalist guides know the best timing and locations.
Yes, bring your own equipment if you have specific gear preferences, though we provide quality binoculars as part of the package.
