Experience the thrill of riding alongside Kazakh nomads as they hunt with trained Golden Eagles. Specially timed for the winter hunting season, this journey leads to Mongolia’s far western province, Bayan-Ulgii, where Kazakh hunters track small rabbits and foxes in the snow with the help of their magnificent eagles. Following the hunt on horseback through the mountains of Western Mongolia, witness firsthand a unique tradition that has survived for centuries in this remote corner of Asia. Spend the night in a finely decorated Kazakh ger, visit a local mosque, and enjoy the hospitality of the Kazakh families who call this extraordinary corner of the world their home.
In addition to traveling through the spectacular scenery of the Altai Mountains, this trip includes a visit to Central Mongolia’s Gorkhi-Terelj National Park to meet a nomadic horse-breeding family and explore this beautiful region on foot or horseback.

Visit Kazakh families in their traditional gers, felt tents decorated in a dazzling mosaic of colors
Enjoy the thrill of riding alongside Kazakh horsemen as they hunt small game with trained Golden Eagles
