As Central Asia is the birthplace of the ancient tradition of eagle hunting, in Kyrgyzstan you can experience this culture. Nomads who roamed the steppes of Central Asia began taming this bird of prey thousands of years ago and the tradition was passed down from generation to generation. This practice was necessary for the acquisition of food and furs during the harsh winter months. Nowadays, this form of hunting is no longer essential to the survival of the population and is gradually disappearing. However, there are still a handful of expert hunters in Kyrgyzstan who are determined to keep this ancient custom alive.
