In Search of Eagles in the Altai Mountains

Journey into Mongolia’s far western frontier and uncover the enduring traditions of the Kazakh people in the Altai Mountains. This eight-day expedition takes you through remote valleys, glacier-carved peaks, and ancient rock carvings that reveal the region’s deep history. Visit eagle hunter families, learn their time-honored practices, and share meals in traditional Kazakh gers surrounded by sweeping steppe vistas. From trekking across the Potanin Glacier to horseback riding at Baga Turgen Waterfall, this journey combines culture, adventure, and authentic connection in Mongolia’s wildest landscapes.
