Along the way, you will meet real nomadic families, learn about centuries-old traditions, and gain deeper insight into the rich cultural heritage of Mongolia.
One of the highlights of this journey is visiting a traditional Kazakh eagle hunting family in western Mongolia. Eagle hunting is an ancient practice dating back more than a thousand years and is considered one of the most remarkable living traditions of Central Asia. Passed down through generations, this unique relationship between hunter and golden eagle reflects the deep connection between humans, nature, and survival in the harsh Altai Mountains.
The Kazakh people inherited the tradition from their Turkic and Mongol ancestors and have preserved it for centuries. Hunting with golden eagles traditionally focused on fur-bearing animals such as foxes and hares, helping nomadic families survive the severe winters of the region. Young female eagles are carefully trained by experienced hunters, forming a strong lifelong bond before eventually being released back into the wild.
In recognition of its cultural importance, UNESCO added traditional Kazakh eagle hunting to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2011.
