The Eagle Hunters Expedition of Western Mongolia of the Altai

Tour Description
Embark on an epic overland expedition from Ulaanbaatar to the remote province of Bayan‑Ölgii, where endless степpe horizons, glowing sunsets, and star‑filled skies set the tone for your adventure. After two nights of wilderness camping, the journey leads into the heart of Tavan Bogd National Park — a land of towering peaks, glacier‑carved valleys, and Kazakh nomadic culture.
Stay in traditional Kazakh gers, ride horses and camels across dramatic mountain terrain, and hike to panoramic viewpoints overlooking pristine alpine landscapes. Continue to the Milky River (Tsagaan Gol), where turquoise glacial waters cut through wide, open plains. Here, you’ll experience Khurkhree‑style horseback riding and share the daily rhythm of nomadic families.
The highlight of the expedition is an immersive encounter with Mongolia’s legendary Kazakh eagle hunters. Spend two days living alongside these skilled masters, learning how they train and bond with their golden eagles — a tradition passed down through generations. Dress in traditional Kazakh attire, take photos with the hunters, and witness a way of life that has remained unchanged for centuries.
Your return to Ulaanbaatar follows a scenic overland route with two more nights of camping under vast Mongolian skies. The adventure concludes with a comfortable night in the capital, where you can explore the city or shop for unique souvenirs before your departure.
