The Eagle Hunters of the Altai
Riding and Camping in the Altai Mountains | 15 days
The Altai, Mongolia’s highest mountain range, stretches south from Russia down the far west of the country into the Gobi Desert. Remote, barren and dramatic, this landscape of craggy peaks and deep valleys cries out to be explored on horseback. The riding route follows traditional nomadic stock routes where you’ll hope to see the Eagle Hunters, ethnic Kazakhs who hunt with majestic golden eagles in winter. There are wonderful opportunities to camp, fish, walk and bird-watch in this timeless region.
