Where Eagles Hunt… Day One in Mongolia – Wild Minute 44

Day one in Mongolia exceeded every expectation.

The landscape is more beautiful than I imagined; vast steppes, distant snow-covered peaks, and silence that feels ancient.

Today we spent time with the Kazakh eagle hunters of the Altai Mountains. These riders demonstrated skills passed down from generation to generation, hunting with golden eagles in one of the harshest environments on Earth.

Watching and filming these traditions was powerful. This isn’t a performance for tourists, it’s a living culture shaped by resilience, partnership with wildlife, and deep respect for the land.

This is only the beginning of our Mongolia snow leopard expedition.

More to come from the Altai Mountains.
