From the first minutes of your arrival to the village you will be met by mischievous children in Kazakh traditional clothes which they usually wear during National holidays, celebration of birthday parties and in front of highly respected guests!

During the visit, you have a unique opportunity to watch Berkut show (Golden eagles). Berkuts are endangered species registered in the Red Book of Kazakhstan. Hunting with golden eagles is one of the most unique traditions of Kazakh people. Eagle hunter is called “kusbegi” or “berkutchi”. Currently, there are few families left who continue carrying the skill and one of them is our host.

    We all enjoyed the unique experience. Our guide Yerlan communicated clearly, helped by asking the family to provide a non-meat dish for the vegetarians, and shared his knowledge of Kazakhstan. The family was very kind and hospitable, the food and tea was delicious, and we had a great time with the experiences of archery practice, holding a golden eagle, enjoying musical talents, and riding a horse with views of the steppe.

  • Excellent Experience
