Altai Expeditions Travel

27/05/2026

More than just a meal - it’s an invitation into the heart of Kazakh culture.✨

When you journey with Altai Expeditions to the westernmost corner of Mongolia, Bayan-Ulgii, you don't just see the sights; you experience the legendary hospitality of the local Kazakh community. 🏔️🌿

Featured here is Besbarmak (which literally translates to "five fingers," because it is traditionally eaten by hand). This iconic national dish is a delicious combination of stewed mutton, horse-meat sausages, all types of fresh vegetables, and steamed dough-rolls with a sprinkle of onions.

To share a meal like this inside a traditional ger is an unforgettable part of the Altai experience. Come as a guest, leave as family. ❤️

Two-Day Tour: Nomadic Lifestyle & Eagle Hunting Experience

Our tourists begin a unique two-day journey to experience the traditional nomadic lifestyle and the ancient art of eagle hunting.

Day 1: Nomadic Life Experience

On the first day, tourists are warmly welcomed by a local nomadic family. They have the opportunity to taste a variety of traditional dairy products, such as cheese, curd, butter, handmade cookies, and milk tea.

During the day, visitors learn about the daily routine of nomadic life. They observe and take part in activities such as milking animals, gathering livestock, separating young animals from their mothers, and helping mother animals nurse their young. This hands-on experience allows tourists to understand the rhythm and responsibilities of life in the countryside.

Guests also enjoy a traditional homemade meal and spend time relaxing in the beautiful natural landscape. They can walk around, enjoy the peaceful environment, and observe birds and other wildlife.

Day 2: Eagle Hunting in the Mountains

On the second day, tourists travel to the mountains on horseback together with an eagle hunter. This journey offers breathtaking views of the surrounding nature and gives visitors a deeper connection to the traditional way of life.

The eagle hunter demonstrates his skills by calling his eagle and showcasing its hunting abilities. One of the highlights of the day is the traditional performance called “Shirga.” In this demonstration, a piece of animal skin is used to simulate prey, allowing visitors to see how fast and powerful the eagle is as it attacks its target.

This unforgettable experience gives tourists a rare insight into the cultural heritage of eagle hunting and leaves them with lasting memories.
