The petroglyphs should be seen as a cultural landscape, not a set of loose objects to handle or rearrange. Reaching the site commonly involves an organised mountain approach from the Kazarman area, with a limited seasonal window. A knowledgeable guide helps with both route finding and interpretation. Allow time to look carefully without touching the carvings, and make weather, altitude and the protection of the stones central to the plan.
