During the experience, you will have the opportunity to meet local eagle hunters, see their golden eagles up close, and learn about their equipment, clothing, hunting methods, and family traditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, you may also witness a demonstration of traditional eagle hunting in the open landscapes of the Altai.
