Camel caravan will come to pick up all the luggage and we follow them along to the base camp, it's located at altitude of 3050 meters above sea level.

Altai Tavan Bogd National Park is a spectacular region of towering peaks, glaciers, and pristine alpine lakes. The park is home to Mongolia's highest mountain, Khüiten Peak, which stands at 4,374 meters and Malchin peak is at 4050 meters. The name "Tavan Bogd" means "Five Saints," referring to the five majestic peaks that dominate the landscape. For people who are willing to take challenge for themselves then Malchin peak is a safe but difficult spot for hikers.

We go back to Kazakh Family before we set our journey to the next destination.

Eagle hunting is more than a tradition, it is a way of life that requires exceptional skill and a deep bond between the hunter and the eagle. The training process starts when the eagle is a young chick and involves years of dedication. Eagles are used to hunt foxes, wolves, hares, and other small animals, providing fur and food for the community.

On the 2nd day with Eagle hunters we learn about their culture and their lifestyle.
