The guests will even have the opportunity to meet a native Indian hunter who will demonstrate their hunting methods and the wildlife they have caught. After the aurora appears, we will follow our guide to capture memorable photos which will be uploaded to the cloud for free downloads. In the case of any heavy wind or snow, our experienced driver will take you to the lake or forest where it is also possible to see the aurora.
