The guests were first introduced to a small museum-type stand. One of the main goals that attracts them to the Jeyranchol area is the presence of living camps here, taking into account that Jeyranchol is located in the area of Mingachevir and Dumanisi. For this reason, conducting searches in residential camps located in the reserve area was set as the main goal.
