This beautiful valley stretching from Gilo toward Malka comes alive in early spring. We can expect to encounter early migrants passing through, alongside wintering birds that haven’t yet begun their journey north. Among blooming almond trees and early ground orchids, we may also come across gazelles, owls, and even butterflies.

Moderate walk (2–3 km) on dirt paths with some uneven ground, including uphill and downhill sections.
Guiding is in English.
