Discover the beauty of nature and the culture of eagle hunters on our Western Mongolia tours.
Welcome to Western Mongolia, the most breathtaking and untouched region of the country. This is where the mighty Altai Mountains rise above endless grasslands, and ancient traditions still shape daily life.
Our Western Mongolia tours take you deep into this remote corner of the world. You’ll meet real nomads, see golden eagles soar, and travel through landscapes so vast and peaceful you’ll feel like you’ve reached the edge of the Earth.
Western Mongolia is famous for its stunning scenery, unique culture, and authentic nomadic lifestyle. It’s home to the Kazakh people, known for their incredible skill in hunting with golden eagles — a tradition passed down for centuries.
Here, travelers can explore everything from snow-capped peaks and glacial rivers to quiet mountain lakes and wide open valleys. Every moment feels like stepping into another world.
One of the highlights of any trip to Western Mongolia is meeting the Kazakh eagle hunters. These proud nomads train golden eagles to hunt foxes and hares, using skills that go back over a thousand years.
Each autumn, the region hosts the Golden Eagle Festival and Sagsai Eagle Festival, where hunters gather to celebrate their culture. You’ll see traditional games, horse racing, archery, and stunning displays of eagle hunting. These festivals are full of color, music, and joy — and they offer a rare chance to experience Mongolia’s living heritage.
During your Western Mongolia tour, you’ll stay in a traditional ger — a round felt tent used by nomadic families for generations. Gers are simple but warm and welcoming. Inside, you’ll find colorful rugs, a wood stove for heat, and a cozy bed.
Staying with a local family is one of the best ways to understand Mongolia’s true culture. You’ll share tea, taste homemade dairy products, and hear stories around the fire. For adventurous travelers, camping under the stars near alpine lakes or mountain passes is also an unforgettable option.

Trek or ride horses in Altai Tavan Bogd National Park
