Golden Eagle Festival in Western Mongolia
Behold captivating glimpses from the annual Golden Eagle Festival, a cherished tradition held during the first weekend of October in Mongolia's western province of Bayan Ulgii. As majestic eagles soar against the backdrop of rugged landscapes, the festival comes alive with vibrant displays of skill and culture.
Organizers have implemented safety measures, utilizing portable fences borrowed from the police to encircle the festival activities. While prioritizing safety for visitors and eagle hunters alike, this precautionary measure inadvertently posed a challenge for capturing the essence of the event through photography. Despite this, the festival, steeped in 24 years of tradition, continues to dazzle spectators with its timeless beauty and rich cultural heritage.
