In spring and autumn, families relocate with their livestock across rugged terrain, including high mountain passes and frozen lakes. The journey spans about 150–170 km and lasts five to six days. Camels carry gers (felt yurts), supplies, and tools while herders ride horseback and guide the livestock. Migration is both a necessity for survival and a powerful cultural tradition that continues despite harsh conditions—temperatures can drop below -35°C and wolf attacks are not uncommon.</p><hr><h3 style="text-align:justify;"><strong>🦅 ABOUT EAGLE HUNTERS</strong></h3><p style="text-align:justify;">Kazakhs in western Mongolia are the last keepers of the ancient art of eagle hunting.
