Overview

Join our Kazakh family of Eagle hunters and prepare for an exciting day of cultural and culinary adventures in Astana.

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.

After lunch you can try your skills in horse riding. If you have no experience this is a perfect opportunity to learn it from our kusbegi!
