The mountains are rich in wildlife and we are almost guaranteed to see plenty of Ibexes on the ridges in the early morning. It is also quite possible to spot the giant Argali Sheep. Due to the elevation, the flora encountered is alpine, and surprisingly related to Scandinavian species. The Yol ravine have permanent ice in its shady parts all through the summer.
