Book now
This quiet nature drive takes you into forested foothills where Racha’s birds of prey nest and soar. With your driver, you’ll follow lesser-used tracks to open ridges and known vulture cliffs, ideal for spotting griffon vultures, eagles, and other raptors riding thermals above the trees. We provide flexible stops for light walking, photography, and observation. This tour is perfect for nature enthusiasts, couples, or anyone seeking a peaceful mountain escape.
Plan your birdwatch tourYou’ll be driven up toward forest clearings and cliffs popular with local raptors. Locations vary by season and weather, your guide will adapt to conditions. Typical highlights include vultures circling in groups, panoramic tree-top views, and forest edges ideal for photography or quiet sitting. Walks are optional and never strenuous.
Our 4x4s or comfortable minivans are driven by locals familiar with the terrain. Each ride is private, and stops are flexible for your interests. We recommend bringing binoculars and a jacket, as higher ridges can be breezy even in summer. Car seats and shaded rest stops available on request.
The full ride takes 3 to 4 hours, depending on how much time you wish to spend observing. Early morning or late afternoon is best for bird activity. Pricing starts at $130 per group (up to 6 guests). Larger vehicles or custom extensions available.
