WESTERN MONGOLIA
Siberia and parts of Turkey

The wilds of the Altai Mountains, Mongolia's highest range, form the rugged backdrop to this Kazakh populated area. Muslim culture and the practice of hunting with eagles contribute to the unique heritage of the region.

Altai Mountains
The Altai is Mongolia's highest mountain range, known in Bayan-Ulgii as 'the Roof of the World', where snow-capped peaks, torrents and glaciers form the backdrop to the indigenous practice of hunting with eagles. The remote rugged range spreads from the Russian border all the way down to Altai-Gobi province in the south.
