They look like eagle’s nests: built on a slope close to each other, here the roof of one house serves as a courtyard for another located above.On the way to Khinalig, you can often see eagles flying overhead, wild horses galloping along the banks of stony rivers and clouds descending so low that sometimes they can even be touched.
