About this Journey

The Altai Eagle Festival is a unique and exciting event held in the Altai Republic, in southwestern Siberia. One of the highlights of this festival is the parade of eagle hunters in traditional hunting attire.

The competition begins with a parade where hunters show off their outfits, including costumes decorated with national patterns and decorative elements. These costumes reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Altai people and the traditions of hunting with eagles.

The Altai Eagle Festival is not only an opportunity to see magnificent eagles in action and enjoy the beauty of Altai nature, but also to immerse yourself in the wonderful world of Altai culture, learn more about its unique traditions and the skills of hunting with eagles preserved by many generations.
