OVERVIEW

Come and enjoy the Golden Eagle Festival 2025 with our specially designed group departure and taste the real Mongolian adventure!

WHY CHOOSE THIS OPTION? The “Affordable Golden Eagle Festival Tour” is not only price-effective but also gives you a chance to attend the Eagle Festival even if all air tickets are sold out. Every year, many people are unable to attend during this time when all the tickets are sold out or all the hotels are booked. So we created the “Affordable Golden Eagle Festival Tour” to give you an all-inclusive package tour where everything is taken care of in advance.

During the trip, you will have a comfortable Toyota Alphard. All ground transportation, food, drinks, accommodation, and support team are included. Although not as fast as flying, but with a comfortable Toyota Alphard you can experience the endless steppe of Mongolia, take a break at the main attractions on the way, and enjoy the natural views!

The group tour will be an eight-day trip, starting with a meeting in Ulaanbaatar and driving across Mongolia to experience the beautiful and varied landscapes. Along the way, we will stop to eat & drink, take photos, stretch our legs and enjoy the surroundings. After about 22 hours of driving, the minivan will arrive in Bayan-Olgii province, where we will be welcomed to our guesthouse with a nice welcome dinner and a hot shower.
The road is 100% paved and crosses 5 different provinces!
The Golden Eagle Festival is one of the biggest events in Mongolia! And for over 100 eagle hunters come to compete in the annual eagle festival and you can enjoy many traditional horse games. At the Eagle Festival place, we set up our kitchen tent where you can have your lunch and any time you want and ask for hot water or coffee!
During the trip, you will have the opportunity to learn about the traditions and culture of the nomadic eagle hunters and see firsthand the truly amazing life they lead. The eagle hunters will show you how they train their eagles and you will have the chance to take an unforgettable photo with an eagle that has landed on your arms. You can also see how they milk the yak, how they make a dairy product, how they herd their animals, and many other traditions they practice. The nomadic Kazakh families are very hospitable and you are welcome to take photos and videos. A small gift for the family would be great, such as chocolate or toys for the children.

Enjoy a great horseback ride with Eagle Hunter and head to the top of the hill to take in the stunning surroundings.
The weather in October is quite cold, so please be prepared for cold and windy conditions.
During the trip, you will experience a traditional Kazakh yurt with 4 beds and traditionally decorated. You have a heating in the middle and you can experience the real taste of nomadic people.
The best of our expedition chefs take care of your meals and you can enjoy delicious meals three times a day. The menu includes traditional and international dishes. If you prefer a vegetarian meal, that is absolutely fine and we are happy to provide vegetarian and halal meals.
Fresh bottled water and snacks are also included in the price of the tour and are available at any time.
This is a carefully planned tour that is more exciting than most of the more expensive tours. And based on our past years, it is highly recommended!
Please contact us to learn more about this expedition. We look forward to seeing you at the Annual Golden Eagle Festival 2025!
