Mongolia: 8-Day Eagle Hunting and Nomadic Experience｜Mongolia

Begin your adventure with a warm welcome at Ölgii Airport in Bayan-Ölgii Province. Take a domestic flight from Chinggis Khaan International Airport in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia’s main international airport and the same airport where most travelers arrive in the country.

During your journey in the Altai Mountains, stay with a local Kazakh eagle hunter’s family — the most authentic way to experience traditional nomadic life. Live in a traditional wooden house or ger (yurt) and share daily activities with your hosts to truly understand their culture and centuries-old traditions.

Kazakh eagle hunters are well known for their warm hospitality. In nomadic culture, guests are treated with great respect and generosity, making your stay both meaningful and memorable.

During your visit, take part in daily nomadic activities such as milking cows and goats, herding livestock across the vast steppe, preparing traditional meals, and learning about the ancient art of eagle hunting. This immersive cultural experience offers a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful life in one of the most remote and beautiful regions of western Mongolia.

During this unforgettable adventure, take part in a real eagle hunting experience in western Mongolia. Ride on horseback alongside an eagle hunter as you head into the mountains with his majestic golden eagle.

Witness how the eagle hunts its prey, such as foxes or rabbits. However, eagle hunting requires patience, skill, and sometimes a bit of luck — not every hunt is successful, which makes the experience even more authentic and exciting.

In the mountains, the eagle hunter will demonstrate traditional eagle training techniques passed down through generations. You will have plenty of time to film, take photographs, and fully immerse yourself in this ancient nomadic tradition.

Participate in the training by calling the eagle to land on your arm — a truly unforgettable moment. Don’t miss the chance to capture a memorable photo with a powerful golden eagle resting on your arm against the dramatic backdrop of the Altai Mountains.

The tour duration is 8 days and 7 nights, allowing you to visit three different Kazakh eagle hunter families in the Altai Mountains. Staying with multiple nomadic households provides a deeper and more authentic cultural experience, giving you the rare opportunity to truly understand traditional Kazakh customs and daily life.

By spending time with different families, gain broader insight into Mongolia’s ancient eagle hunting heritage and become part of the nomadic lifestyle that has been preserved for generations in western Mongolia.

During your journey in the Altai Mountains, be accompanied by an experienced local support team, including an English-speaking tour guide and a personal chef who will prepare your daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner throughout the trip.

This is a fully inclusive travel package, where everything is carefully arranged for your comfort and peace of mind.
