Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
It’s known in the world that Kazakh and Kyrgyz nations have traditions of hunting small animals with the aid of predator birds such as falcon, hawks, and eagles. The custom of hunting with bird of prey or eagle hunting have survived among Kazakhs who live in the Western part of Mongolia, and nowadays this art of the man and bird partnership can be witnessed at the show festival which has expanded into the independent tourist attraction venue for photographers and visitors from all over the world. At present, there are almost 200 eagle hunters in the West of Mongolia. We present you a golden opportunity to photo shoot Kazakh national eagle hunting to fill up your treasure chest with the rare photographs taken by yourself in a nomadic outdoors. The festival displays the skill of the best Kazakh hunters (about 500 eagle hunters).

We spent the Lunar New Year with a local family. It was a truly incredible experience. We loved how gracious and welcoming our hosts were and are very appreciative that they included us in their traditions and celebration. We were really looking forward to this trip it and was the corner stone of our trip to Mongolia. It did not disappoint. Our guide, Ebo was amazing. He was funny and knowledgable. I really enjoyed the stories he shared of his experiences and life in Mongolia. He went above and beyond to help us when things were not going smoothly or expected. Oyuna, our trip coordinator was super knowledgable and provided great advice when planning our trip. Her communication when we had to rebook some trains and flights unexpectedly was great. She kept us in the loop as to what was going on an made us feel reassured that everything would be taken care of. Our driver had a impressive knowledge of the roads and directions. He was a skilled driver and made us feel safe in all conditions. We did unexpectedly have another couple join us on the trip last minute. They did confirm that we were ok with the change and refunded us some money because of it.

3. Trekking in Mongolia

Trekking in Mongolia tour is an amazing trek in the western corner of Mongolia where it is bordering with China from its south and with Russia from its north. This area is the Altai mountain. The place where we will do trekking is less traveled by people. It’s difficult to drive there by car or jeep. So, we will pack camels for our all equipment and will start walking through breathtaking landscapes by making a little caravan through Kazakh and Tuvan nomad’s summer camp!
Inclusions: We can provide with all type of equipment for you!, All Fees and Taxes, Private transportation, All food & meals in western mongolia, All cooking, Camels for trekking transportation, Translator guide

We got in touch quite late but right from the beginning, Baldyrgan the owner of Western Mongolia Tours was very responsive. We received replies to any questions really quickly and WMT provided us with extra sleeping bags as we did not have any. Arriving by plane on day 1 the team was waiting and we were ready to go. We had a great team: guide, driver, cook. We chose to travel to Altai Tavan Bogd National Park, covering the White River Valley, Potania Glacier (to which we travelled by horse and camel with a group of ver experienced Tuva guides), Malchin Peak. It snowed and we got quite cold so instead of the tent, our guide got a Ger for all of us. This was'nt included in the itinerary but one of those extra unexpected things that made the trip great. The lakes, petroglyphs, dear stones and some stunning views followed. We also stayed with a friednly eagle hunter family. Baldyrgan and his team are very experienced, and know many of the people along the the way really well. This makes the journey smoother and opened doors for us. An impromptu visit to a family along the way ended up being a really nice afternoon, asking questions and eating local delicacies and drinking Mongolian Vodka made with cheese! We had some tasty food prepared by Danko who is a great cook and was always cheerful even very early on pretty cold rainy mornings! Bano, our guide, was really knowlegeable and also patient with us as we climbed Malchin Peak at our inexperienced slow pace. Our driver was used to the route & navigated difficult terrain with the russian van (a vehicle he was very familiar with) with relative ease. This was pretty reassuring and meant that we could actually enjoy the off-road trip as well. The journey was very well prepared and the team was clearly experienced and had packed and been provided by WMT with all the right things even when we had not thought of them. Returning to Olgii we had an extra few days and Baldyrgan went out of his way to help us out, show us around and bring us to the airport. We felt well cared for. We can really recommend Western Mongolia Tours as an experienced professional company.
