Kazakh Eagle Hunters Preserve Ancient Tradition - Mongolia

Kazakh eagle hunters in the Altai Mountains of western Mongolia pose with their trained golden eagles during a photo session on October 26, 2023. Clad in traditional fur garments and perched on horseback, the hunters embody a centuries-old nomadic tradition known as “berkutchi,” where raptors are used to hunt foxes and hares in the harsh mountain landscape. This photo series documents both the daily life and ceremonial moments of the hunters, capturing their deep bond with their eagles and the unique skills passed down through generations. Against the backdrop of the rugged steppe and snow-dusted peaks, the images reflect a culture rooted in survival, identity, and pride. As modern influences increasingly reshape the region, these photographs preserve a way of life that is fast disappearing but still resonates as a symbol of resilience and cultural heritage among the Kazakh minority in Mongolia.
