One of the oldest and most spectacular customs of Mongolia's Kazakh people, passed down from generation to generation, is hunting with specially trained eagles. This tradition displays the pride of the Kazakhs and their skill as hunters. The annual festival brings together the best hunters and their eagles to display the skills of hunters and birds. The festival is held in the extreme west of Mongolia, at the heart of the majestic Altai Mountains, an area featuring rivers, glaciers and the beautiful landscapes of Mongolia’s Bayan Ulgii Province.
