THE QUIET SIDE OF THE DESERT

Sonkhaliya Birding Tour & Raptor Photography

Sonkhaliya’s scrub and grassland habitat calls for a slower kind of exploration. This birding and raptor photography route rewards close attention to steppe species and the perfectly adapted life that often blends into the landscape.

WHERE WATER MEETS THE SKY
