It focuses on real shooting time, better positioning, and working directly with eagle hunters in the Altai Mountains. The Golden Eagle Festival brings together Kazakh eagle hunters from across western Mongolia. Over two days, you can photograph fast action as eagles are released from mountain ridges, traditional horseback games, and strong portrait moments in natural light.</p>

<p data-end="1060" data-start="770">Beyond the festival, the tour includes private shooting sessions with eagle hunters in Sagsai and around Tolbo Lake. These sessions give you more control over light, background, and composition &mdash; ideal for portraits, horseback scenes, and storytelling images without the pressure of crowds. This is a small group photography tour designed around field conditions. We plan for early morning and late afternoon shooting, work with natural light, and allow enough time in each location to build a strong and varied portfolio.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Pallas&#39;s Cat in Mongolia</strong></span></span></h3>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Although the Manul is found throughout central Asia, its habitat is a very specific and harsh environment. It lives on rocky steppes and stony outcroppings only and is rarely seen in lowland areas. It has been found at altitudes up to 4,800m but only in areas where deep snow does not accumulate.&nbsp;They make their dens in caves, crevices, or burrows dug by other animals.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">German naturalist Peter Pallas first described the furry wildcat in 1776. He named the kitty Felis manul.&nbsp; As its scientific name- (<em>Otocolobus manul)</em>, the word &lsquo;<em>manu</em>l&rsquo; comes from the Mongolian language&nbsp;and <em>Otocolobus</em> is Greek for &ldquo;ugly-eared.&rdquo;</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="/uploads/Manuul_manul_pallas_cat_mongolia_wild.jpg" style="opacity: 0.9; text-align: center;" /></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px;"><em>Pallas&rsquo;s cat moves slowly but purposefully, concealing itself within its environment and blending into the background.</em></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Pallas&#39;s cats are ambush hunters and spend much of their time hunting pikas as&nbsp;mouse hares, murines, ground squirrels, and voles are also eaten, and also small birds, grasshoppers and lizards, and other critters like gerbils, voles, hares, ground squirrels, birds, and young marmots. Pikas typically make up more than 50 percent of the cat&#39;s diet.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="mongolia wild cat manuul" src="/uploads/Pallas_cat_mongolia_photography_batzaya.jpg" /></p>

<p><em><span style="font-size:14px;">According to the IUCN Red List, the total population size of the Pallas&rsquo;s cat is estimated at 15,315 mature individuals. This species&rsquo; numbers are decreasing today and it is classified as Near Threatened (NT) on the IUCN Red List</span></em>.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Photographing the Pallas&#39;s cat in Mongolia</strong></span></span></h3>

<p>Palla&rsquo;s cats were believed to be primarily nocturnal, but are now being considered crepuscular in nature. Palla&#39;s&nbsp;cat&nbsp;is a shy and very antisocial animal. Without the help of an experienced local guide or researcher, it is almost impossible to encounter this rare creature in Mongolia.&nbsp;They have an extraordinary ability to hide within their own habitat. Even their markings and coloration allow them to easily blend with their surroundings which makes it uneasy to spot them without an experienced Mongolian wildlife photo tour agency.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="/uploads/manul_pallas_cat_mongolia_wildlife.jpg" style="opacity: 0.9; text-align: center;" /></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px;"><em>Once we see the startling aspects of its appearance, it becomes clear that the Pallas&#39;s cat is in fact rather handsome and adorable.&nbsp;</em></span></p>

<p>If you especially wish to see and photograph Pallas&#39;s cats in Mongolia with their lovely kittens, it is better to plan your trip to Mongolia between May to August. Because they mate between December and March; the females typically give birth between the end of March and May. Kittens become independent by four to five months, until then&nbsp;they are with their mother.&nbsp;But hope you know the challenges of wildlife photography. You can spend a long time waiting for an animal to come into the spot and then it simply turns around, leaves and that&#39;s the end of it. However, these challenges are also part of what makes <u><a href="https://www.toursmongolia.com/mongolia_travel_news/wildlife-photography-discover-mongolian-wild-side" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0099ff;">Mongolian wildlife photography</span></a></u> so rewarding.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="pallas cat photography in mongolia" src="/uploads/Manuul_manul.jpg" /></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, this&nbsp;rare creature is listed as a &#39;near-threatened&#39; species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).&nbsp; One of the main reasons for its decreasing population&nbsp;is the hunting for their fur and organs, which are used in traditional medicines. Moreover, it&#39;s one of the least studied cats in the world.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="/uploads/Manuul_mongolian_wildlife_tour_manul.jpg" /></p>

<p>We wish to increase both Mongolian and global awareness about Pallas&rsquo;s cats and build on the knowledge of their natural history and threats. As we gain knowledge of them, we can love, save and protect them. Today is World Wildlife Day. We hope you<strong><span style="color:#008000;"> #DoOneThing for Palla&rsquo;s cat</span></strong>&nbsp;can be either sharing this blog with those who don&rsquo;t know about this rare creature or making your own efforts in its conservation.</p>

Travelers love most about eagle hunting tradition, but may have little information about its environs that support the old traditions both the falconry and nomadic culture. People also may have heard about the falconers but may little know about eagle falconers&rsquo; daily living that shows the unique culture. There are also many to tell the reasons to love Sagsai, but here we choose to tell you the reasonable fives.</p>

<h3><span style="color:#008080;">1. Great hospitality</span></h3>

<p>Nomadic people are known as the most hospitable ones because of their traditional way of living. Kazakh hospitality traditions have much in common with those of other nomadic cultures, all of which have a very respectful attitude to guests. Hosting begins with warm greeting, and the guests are invited to seat the most honorable place of the family. After that, the guests were treated with milk tea, various snacks, and Kazakh cuisines.</p>

<p><img alt="" src="/uploads/sagsai_golden_eagle_festival_family_visit.jpg" /></p>

<p>No matter the visitors are invited or not, they are strangers or not, no matter they stay there in a short period of time or for days, Kazakh family offers great hospitality to all the visitors, treating with what they have. It is said that Kazakh people believe in some strange sayings that &ldquo;the family cries and they might be unlucky when guests not to visit their home&rdquo; so Kazakh family offer their last meals to their guests, even they don&rsquo;t have enough food for them. Also&nbsp;every Kazakh family has a dombra, the traditional musical instrument. They love to play dombra for the guests and it is really heart warming aspect of their hosting. When you visit Sagsai you can experience their unique culture and feel this amazing hospitality.</p>

<h3><span style="color:#008080;">2. Nomadic eagle falconers</span></h3>

<p>There are many countries where the falconry is still practicing in the world today. But the old tradition, the classic form of eagle falconry is in western Mongolia; when the winter comes falconer goes for a hunt the wild mammals with his trained eagle on horseback to the mountains and while they are living in nomadic way of life.</p>

<p><img alt="" src="/uploads/Sagsai_Golden_eagle_hunters.jpg" /></p>

<p>In westernmost region of Mongolia, there are about 250 eagle hunters who practice this traditional eagle falconry and most of them are living in Sagsai village. They care for eagles while caring for the domestic herds, migrating 3 to 4 times a year for looking for the better pastures. The combination of the two traditional cultures is still living in Sagsai&nbsp;which is not found in many places of&nbsp;world.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="/uploads/Eagle_hunting_tour_mongolia copy copy.jpg" /></p>

<hr />
<h3><span style="color:#008080;">3. The golden eagles&nbsp;</span></h3>

<p>One of the largest birds of prey,&nbsp;The Golden Eagle<em>&nbsp;(Aquila chrysaetos)</em>&nbsp;has many impressive stories in human culture, the symbol of strength, courage, independence, faith and the most respected bird of many countries around the world. In Mongolia golden eagle used as a hunting bird by Kazakh nation, and&nbsp;is a&nbsp;regular resident, wild ones are occurred in most areas, mostly reside&nbsp;among rocks and high peaks up to 3000 m above sea level.

<h3><span style="color:#008080;">4.&nbsp;Remarkable natural habitat&nbsp;</span></h3>

<p>Sagsai village is located on the riverbank Sagsai river, surrounded with high mountains. Altai Mountain region is one of the important habitats of wild mammals, the giant golden eagles and the nomadic people and they make the Sagsai a perfect place for keeping eagle falconry in its traditional form.&nbsp;The diversity of animal species in the Mongolian Altai region and the levels of endemism can be lower than in the tropical zones, but the particular assemblages of species and the intact functioning ecosystems are found nowhere else in the world.</p>

<p><img alt="" src="/uploads/Sagsai_wildlife_manuul.jpg" style="float: right; max-width: 49%;" /></p>

<p style="clear: both">&nbsp;</p>

<p>This remarkable natural habitat has been supports the livelihood of nomadic peoples along with their culture that relates to the hunting wild animals with golden eagles. But in last years, the natural environments have been affected by desertification, over grazing and some modern infrastructures which threatens both the wildlife and falconry culture.&nbsp;To love this tradition and natural habitat is to conserve them. So it is time to aware and preserve both nature and culture for sustaining the healthy relationship of human and nature.</p>

<h3><strong><span style="font-family: &quot;comic sans ms&quot;, cursive;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 100, 0);">They&rsquo;re truly a gift!</span></span></strong></h3>

<p>Mongolians take blessings from newborn foals, if you have seen it on location. Morever, little foals can be precious gifts for horseman during some occasions and rituals.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="horse_culture_mongolia" src="/uploads/mongolia_foal_amazing_photos.jpg" /></p>

<h3><strong><span style="color:#006400;"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive;">Foals are Mostly Born at Night</span></span></strong></h3>

<p>It is most common for a mare to give birth to a foal during the night or early morning. If you are waiting for a precious arrival and want to eyewitness, keep it in mind.&nbsp;Mongolian horses have a strong instinct to care for and protect their foal, ability to select pleasant pasture, run out of unknown places and use their senses to predict the climate.</p>

<p><strong><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive;"><span style="color:#006400;"><img alt="mongolian_photos_foals" src="/uploads/mongolia_horse_rituals.jpg" /></span></span></strong></p>

<h3><strong><span style="color:#006400;"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive;">The First Milk They Drink is Vital to Their Health</span></span></strong></h3>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The first milk a foal will get is called colostrum. Mongolians say it &ndash;<strong><span style="color:#006400;"><em>Uurag</em></span></strong><span style="text-align: justify;">.</span>Colostrum is a thick, sticky yellow milk that is full of antibodies that protect a foal from infections while their immune systems are still developing.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="mongolian_horse_culture" src="/uploads/facts_mongolia_foals.jpg" /></p>

<h3><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive;"><strong><span style="color:#006400;">Foals Can Stand and Walk Within Two Hours of Birth</span></strong></span></h3>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Once a foal is born, they are able to stand within two hours. Sometimes, foals can stand as soon as 30 minutes after being born.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="mongolian_foal_photos" src="/uploads/horse_mongolia_photos.jpg" /></p>

<h3><strong><span style="color:#006400;"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive;">When Born, a Foal&rsquo;s Legs are 80% &ndash; 90% Fully Grown</span></span></strong></h3>

<p>When foals are born they have already 80 &ndash; 90% of the length of their adult legs. Long legs in foals give them the advantage they need to survive in the wild.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="mongolian_horse_foals" src="/uploads/mongolia_foal_horse.jpg" /></p>

<p>Shortly after standing a foal will be able to walk and then later, gallop. It is necessary that a foal is able to move shortly after being born, as they must be able to flee from predators and keep up with their herd in the wild.</p>

<h3><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive;"><strong><span style="color:#006400;">Foals Start Eating Grass with Two Weeks</span></strong></span></h3>

<p>As soon as ten days, a foal may begin to nibble on grass or hay. After around two to three months, a foal will not get enough nutrients from just its mother&rsquo;s milk alone, so eating hay and grass is important.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="mongolia_photo_tours" src="/uploads/photo_tours_mongolia.jpg" /></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Being born in the spring or summer also means that a foal won&rsquo;t have to endure a cold winter, which can be harsh on a baby horse.&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong><span style="color:#006400;"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive;">A foal&rsquo;s baby teeth arrive quickly</span></span></strong></h3>

<p>A foal&rsquo;s first deciduous, or baby teeth, start showing up within a week of birth. By the time they are 9 months old, they have 24 teeth, and then their adult teeth start coming in.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="mongolia_horse_foals" src="/uploads/travel_mongolia.jpg" /></p>

<h3><strong><span style="color:#006400;"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive;">Mongolian Custom of tethering the foals</span></span></strong></h3>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Mongolians have a custom to tether their foals and colts on the Tiger Day, at the inception of summer, and release them from their tethers on the Dog Day of autumn.&nbsp;This special custom is connected with process&rsquo; and how Mongolians produce fermented mare&rsquo;s milk.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">In &nbsp;day of tethering, nearby local horsemen gather together. The most respected horseman binds an honorable scarf to his stick-pole-<em>Uurga</em>, catches the first born foal, and then hitches it to the first peg of the tethering-line.</p>

<h3><strong><span style="color:#006400;"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive;">Mongolian Foal-Branding Ceremony</span></span></strong></h3>

<p style="text-align: justify;">When the weather becomes colder in autumn, especially in September or early October, you can have chance to eyewitness foal branding ceremony, special horse related ritual in Mongolia.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">This ritual is marked with Mongol herders&rsquo; horse brand indicating ownership. The importance of brands in giving information is greatest all regions of Mongolia where both herds and people move almost continuously over featureless and unmarked plains.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="mongolia_horse_photo_tours" src="/uploads/mongolia_horse_facts.jpg" /></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: justify;">As seen in photos, mare and its foal&#39;s color can be completely different.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>According to the source, there are 250 different types of horses around the world, however, Mongolian horses have the largest number of horse colors.&nbsp;Mongolian nomads call and identify their horses by colors using the color of hair, skin, tail, mane, and loop and don&rsquo;t have a name for their horses. You can hear dozens of different terms to describe colors of Mongolian horses and it is even hard to translate into foreign languages. Almost all horse colors such as roan, brown, white, gray, shun, bay, black, palomino, and many others can be found around Mongolia.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Can Mongolians imagine a life without horses and the essential joy they bring? Probably not.

<h2><span style="color:#008080;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>3. Explore The World Of Eagle Hunting During The Festival </strong></span></span></h2>

<p>Hunting with eagles has been practiced by Kazakh and Kyrgyz people for thousands of years in central Asia. Today in Mongolia, this is still living among the Kazakhs in its ancient form.</p>

<p><img alt="eagle-hunters-sagsai-festival" src="/uploads/eagle-hunitng-mongolia.jpg" /></p>

<p>The giant golden eagle soaring over the prey, and the hunter or Berkutchi /eagle hunter I Kazakh language/ calling his eagle while galloping on horseback to the prey, the hunter eagle swooping down and landed on the prey hand with her full speed.</p>

<p>Sagsai soum, or village is a perfect habitat of giant eagles, wildlife, and nomadic people. The most eagle hunters of west Mongolia, are living in this small village, so we can call this place as a Hot Spot of Eagle Hunting Tradition in Mongolia. The Eagle Festival takes place in 35km from the Ulgii town, in a convenient area of Sagsai (river) valley surrounded with magnificent mountain backdrops. Special thanks to the local officials of Sagsai village for the cooperation with organizing the Sagsai Golden Eagle Festival and it helps us to make our festival more local and tourism-friendly and well-organized.</p>
