Six miles south of Almaty in the foothills of the Alatau Mountains sits the Sunkar Raptor Sanctuary. Here you can discover Kazakhstan's ancient hunting tradition - falconry. The sanctuary has hundreds of raptors, including the golden eagle that Kazakhs favor for hunting. During the daily falconry show, watch these magnificent birds fly high above you. Continue watching as they swoop down to the ground. These eagles can spot a target from 3.22 kilometers up in the air. And then they dive down upon it at over 190 kilometers per hour!
Next, experience the natural beauty that Kazakhstan is famous for - on horseback. Many believe that this area was where people first rode horses thousands of years ago. Ride through the remote area of the Central Tien Shan. You'll see forests and cross rivers and mountain passes. You'll also spot flocks of sheep, horses and the nomads who care for them. It's an unforgettable experience.
