and the Gobi Desert

TOUR DATES : September 18 - 28, 2026

Where Eagles Rule the Sky and Deserts Hold Ancient Secrets
Experience the wonder of Mongolia’s far west as you travel into the remote Altai Mountains for exclusive access to the Tolbo Lake Golden Eagle Festival, one of the country’s most extraordinary cultural celebrations. Set among sweeping alpine landscapes, this festival showcases the strength, precision, and beauty of Kazakh eagle hunting traditions, featuring breathtaking competitions, horseback games, artisan demonstrations, and intimate moments with the eagle hunter community that keep this ancient heritage alive. Staying in deluxe private gers at Three Eagle Camp, you’ll enjoy comfort at the edge of true wilderness while engaging directly with hunters, craftsmen, and local families who embody the spirit of this remarkable way of life.

Following the festival, your journey continues across Mongolia’s legendary landscapes from the vibrant cultural heart of Ulaanbaatar to the vast, otherworldly expanse of the Gobi Desert. Explore the iconic Moltsog Els dunes, visit a camel-herding family, and drive across desert terrain toward the historic Flaming Cliffs, where paleontological discoveries forever changed our understanding of the ancient world. With luxurious stays at the Shangri-La Hotel and the award-winning Three Camel Lodge, this itinerary blends cultural immersion, adventure, and exceptional comfort—offering an unforgettable passage through Mongolia’s diverse traditions, dramatic scenery, and deeply rooted nomadic heritage.
