You may play past historic monuments dating back to the 15th century, below looming fortresses and in the very heart of an ancient city. You might have to stop to allow a peacock to complete its mating dance on a green or strain to see a deer streak across a fairway. On an early morning you will pause to watch a flight of migratory birds or to literally catch your breath on the highest golf course in the world at a height of 2890 meters.
