Photography and hunting for the fox takes place on the top of nearby mountains. Eagle hunters take position higher so the eagle can see and catch the prey better.

Today we will see this in the morning and try to catch some wild animals like foxes.
In the afternoon we drive back to Olgiy city. Stay in a hotel in Olgiy.

You must be reasonably physically fit, but this experience doesn’t require you to be a marathoner or weightlifter. It’s more about your ability to handle cold weather and harsh conditions. Most anyone can walk 15to20 km in a day, with the right mindset. We do take lots of breaks.

If you are tenacious, able to handle long days, can sleep in a yurt, use an outside bathroom, and have a great mental attitude, this experience is for you.

Weather: It will be cold. Expect temperatures to be below freezing every day. This means, the high temps could be say, 20F/-7C and the low temps could be -20F/-28C. Prepare for the coldest temps. We set you up with layers (you will get instructions from us) and with the right clothing, you will be warm. Remember we will be physically active during this workshop. Expect wind, snow, and ice to make the weather feel colder and walking more difficult than you are used to.

Accommodations: In Ulaanbaatar (first night and last two nights), we stay at a 3-star hotel with all the amenities you would expect: nice simple rooms, en-suite bathrooms, Wi-Fi.

On the migration, we sleep on thick mattresses in heated ger tents . One tent for gents, one tent for ladies. You will need a 0 degree F sleeping bag, bring your own or we can rent one for you. Separate, camp-style outdoor toilet facility in a private, stand-up tent . No showers, but you will have the ability to wash and freshen up each day. We’ll have a generator on hand so we can charge up our camera batteries and laptops.

In Ulgii, we are in a 3-star hotel (it’s the only hotel!). The rooms are clean and heated, the beds twin beds. We bring our own chef. There is Wi-Fi, hot showers, and en-suite facilities.

Food: restaurants in Ulaanbaatar, with a choice of local and internationally-known foods. With our nomad family, on the migration, and at our hotel in Ulgii, we have our own private chefs along, and they will cook food you know and like in the traditional Mongolian ways. Beef, chicken, lamb, pastas, and vegetables are all featured. We can accommodate food allergies and most any dietary requirements throughout the workshop in all locations, no problem.

Transportation: We have two commercial in-country flights aboard Fokker twin-propeller aircraft. Your camera backpack will fit in the overhead bins, but larger roller bags will not fit and must be checked. When off road and when out at the nomad family, we are in Toyota Land Cruisers, again 3 guests to a vehicle with plenty of room for you and your gear.
