Nature and Culture of Mongolian Altai
Join us on a truly groundbreaking journey, travelling through the forgotten land of Mongolian
Altai Mountains and a land steeped in shamanism and ancient traditions. We will meet the Kazakh people of the west, famed for their practice of hunting with golden eagles, and spend the night as guests of an eagle hunter, or berkutchi, to learn more about this fascinating practice. We explore the untamed lands of Tavan Bogd, with mountains that are home to isolated populations of Tuvan and Uriankkhai people, as well as the iconic snow leopard.
