A sparsely populated region of endless grassland, Bayan Olgi possesses a stark, untamed beauty. Hunt with ethnic Kazakhs, who honed their expertise through generations of living on the steppe. Enjoy their hospitality, share their homes, and witness the rare art of falconry. Untamed and wild, Bayan Olgi is Mongolia at its rugged best.

EXPERIENCES

Hunting & Falconry

Go hunting with ethnic Kazakhs, who have practiced falconry using golden eagles for centuries. Early winter is considered to be the best season for hunting, as foxes and other game acquire winter furs. Another good time to witness this sport is in October during the annual Eagle Hunting Festival that celebrates Kazakh culture in Bayan Olgi.
