Eagle Hunting

Central Asia is the birthplace of the ancient tradition of eagle hunting. The nomads who roamed the Central Asian steppes began to tame these birds of prey thousands of years ago and this tradition is still passed on from generation to generation. It was fundamental for the acquisition of food and furs in the harsh winter months.

Nowadays, this form of hunting isn’t essential anymore in the survival of the people and the tradition of eagle hunting is now slowly disappearing. Kyrgyzstan is one of the few countries that still follow some traditions of the nomadic civilization and there are a handful of expert hunters left to this day who are determined to keep this ancient practice alive.

Falconry is often associated with hawks and falcons. The Kyrgyz hunters consider these birds to be for amateurs. Instead, they train golden eagles. They call this eagle the bird of God and prefer to hunt with them as they are the most intelligent, powerful and lethal hunters on the planet and can kill hares, foxes, lynxes and even wolves!

The golden eagle is called berkut in Kyrgyz and is named after the golden feathers at the back of its head. The hunters are called berkutchi and are seen as the guardians of the nomadic hunting traditions.

They’ve always been highly respected in the Kyrgyz society and the hunting was an indispensable part of the nomadic life as it provided enough food and fur for a whole village during the harsh winters. The hunters were wealthy but the whole training, keeping and feeding the birds was a costly affair!

How to train the Eagles
The art of eagle training was passed down from one generation to another, often from father to son. The training itself takes about 3 to 4 years before both eagle and hunter are ready for a successful hunt.

The berkutchi novice first needs to catch an eagle from the wild or take a fledgling from the nest. This is extremely dangerous and some novices are killed by eagles that return to the nest during the theft.

Once the berkutchi has an eaglet, it’s very important that he spends all his time with the bird so that it sees him as his master and starts depending on him. The eagle wears a leather hood during the day so it can’t see. The hunter will often talk and sing to the bird and it learns to listen only to his trainer’s voice. The berkutchi is also the only one who feeds the eagle, which creates a strong bond between them.

To train the eagle to hunt, the berkutchi uses a stuffed fox fur that is fastened to a rope. He also teaches the eagle to come back and fly down on his hand.

When the training is going well, the berkutchi takes his eagle out to hunt for real animals. He carries the bird on a heavy leather glove and leaves the hood over the bird’s eyes until he spots an animal. When he removes the hood, the eagle quickly sets off and attacks, killing his prey by breaking its neck. Trained to wait for its master, the eagle won’t eat until the berkutchi is at his side. As a reward, he gets to eat a portion of the kill. The berkutchi takes the rest of the meat and the fur back to his village.

The hunting season starts late October and lasts until the end of February. During the other months, the berkutchi has to spend daily at least 2 to 3 hours with his pet or the bird quickly becomes wild again.

The hunter and the eagle stay almost 20 years together and they build a very strong connection during that time. The eagle isn’t just the hunting partner and the livelihood of the berkutchi, the bird is his family. But after 20 years, he sets the eagle free in the wilderness.

I reckon that this must be quite tough for both and I also wonder if the eagle easily adapts to its freedom. Apparently, it does as this has been done for ages and it helped sustain the population of the free-living birds when eagle-hunting was still a widespread tradition in Central Asia.

Kyrgyz national cuisine

As all Eastern countries, Kyrgyzstan, is famous fir its customs and traditions, especially for hospitality. Our way of life and language are changing during our life, but customs and traditions stay without any changing. These traditions and customs are handing over from elder generation to younger. Kyrgyz were traditionally nomads. This has influenced their food, clothing and traditions. Being nomadic, their national food revolve around the meat whicn was readily available from their herds. We offer the readers the following as glimpse of Kyrgyz food and traditions and hope they will be able to experience the exceptional hospitality of Kyrgyz firsthand during their stay.

Kyrgyz Cuisine
Kyrgyz national cuisine has absorbed elements from all of the cultures with which it has come into contact. In Kyrgyzstan you could not really have a tablecloth since the Kyrgyz did not (and in a lot of places still don’t) sit around a table to eat. Instead, they spread a large, white cloth or dastorkhan, on the floor in the center of the yurt or outside on the green grass, and place soft pillows along the edges. People sit cross-legged – Indian fashion. In the figurative meaning dastorkhan is a special dinner or holiday meal, and has specific rituals and traditional dishes. We’ll now discuss some of those traditions and recipes.

Dastorkhan

Dastorkhan usually begins late in the afternoon or early in the evening, and continues for many hours. New guests are often surprised at the number of meat dishes served. That is traditional and connected with the life of nomads. A shepherd has spent the whole day doing hard physical work, with a chunk of flat bread and some tea for sustenance and only in the evening, when his work is done can he relax and eat his fill. The dishes were usually prepared with meat since it was a staple in the diet of livestock breeders. At a dastorkhan the guest removes his shoes and enters the yurt. There is always a special place set for honoured guests and it is decorated with beautiful hand-made carpets, usually directly opposite the entrance. The host sits near the door. It is his responsibility to offer his guests the best dishes and to be sure that there is always hot tea in their cups. There are usually bowls of mountain honey, melted butter, thick sour cream, fruit and boorsok.

Boorsok

Boorsok – deep-fried pieces of yeast dough and usually served with tea or broth.

Kymyz
Kymyz – is the Kyrgyz traditional beverage made from horse’s milk (mare’s milk). It has been made since ancient times. The Manas Epic mentions it and there are many folk sayings connected with it: Kymyz is a man’s blood and fresh air is his soul. The man who drinks kymyz will live a hundred years. Kymyz contains over two hundred varieties of plants and one litre gives the body several hundred calories of energy. It aids digestion and increases the amount of glycogen in the body. A cup of Kymyz relaxes you and increases your appetite.

Besh-Barmak
Besh-Barmak – is simple to translate. Besh means five, and barmak means fingers. Usually it is made from lamb or horsemeat. The meat is cut into tiny pieces by the host and his relatives, and mixed with hot noodles. Bouillon is then poured over the mixture and the besh-barmak is ready. Kuurdak is made with the intestines of a sheep fried in fat and served with steamed potatoes. Horse intestines are one of the favourite Kyrgyz delicacies – chuchuk, kazy, karta. The other is plov – fried rice with meat and carrots. Manty – steamed meat with vegetables in dough.

Shashlyk
Shashlyk – meat roasted on skewers. Shorpo – is hot meat broth with potatoes, meat and onion. Lagman – is a strong spicy ragout with cut pieces of meat, vegetables and spices poured onto long handmade noodles.

The caravanserai Tash-Rabat

Tash-Rabat is a unique architectural monument located in the rather picturesque Kara-Koyun gorge of the Naryn region, 110 km South of the city of Naryn, at an altitude of 3200 m above sea level. Tash-Rabat is one of the main architectural attractions of Kyrgyzstan, which dates back to the 15th century.

In the middle ages, on the great Silk road, the Tash-Rabat fortress served as a caravanserai, that is, it was an Inn for merchants and travelers. Tash-Rabat was located on the trade route that in those days connected the Chui and Ferghana valleys with Kashgar. For hunters and cattlemen, this stone building was an unusual structure, and it was associated with ancient legends.

Scientists were very active in the study of Tash-Rabat in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Scientists have defined the cultural component of this complex and its purpose in different ways. Some of them believed that the construction of Tash-Rabat dates back to the late middle ages. Others said it was the ruins of a Christian Nestorian monastery that was built in the 10th-11th century.

In the 1980s, the restoration of this cultural monument, which has an important historical value for the country, was carried out. After the restoration, it is visited by tourists from different countries.

The history of the construction of Tash-Rabat is controversial. According to the documents, it was ordered to be built by the local ruler, Muhammad Khan. But old-timers tell a different story: “Tash-Rabat was built by a father and son. And almost at the very end of the construction, when it was necessary to put the last stone on the dome, a caravan appeared on the horizon. The son left his job and went to see who was going there. His father told him to finish the job first. But he didn’t listen, left, and never came back. It turned out that a beautiful young girl was traveling with the caravan. Tash-Rabat has been without a roof ever since.

Such an unusual architectural monument is located in the Naryn region. From Tash-Rabat, you can make a fascinating transition through the pass to the beautiful high-mountain lake Chatyr-Kul.

Hunt for Ibex in Kyrgyzstan

Together with your guide you leave base camp on horseback to search for the wanted species. In most cases these outings last for several days and during the hunt you overnight either in tents or mountain caves. Therefore a really good sleeping bag is a very important part of your equipment! You hunt up to an altitude of 4,500 meters above sea level, which of course in itself is a physical challenge. When a promising trophy has been spotted you begin an often long and strenuous stalk on foot. You must be prepared to shoot at distances of several hundred meters in difficult terrain – nobody said that it was easy. In return the efforts of the hunter will often be rewarded with trophies of more than 1 meter – in rare cases up to impressive 130 cm. The average of the Marco Polo is between 48” and 55”. And the nature and the scenery that forever will be imprinted in your memory cannot be described with words – it simply has to be seen and felt on your own body.

Travel Preparations
As a hunting guest to Kyrgystan it is important to be in a good physical condition, and therefore spend time and energy on physical training before the trip. You will be hunting at high altitudes, must expect long days with strenuous stalking in difficult terrain and often at low temperatures, so the more fit you are the better are the chances of success. Irrespective of hunting area and specie the hunt only takes place on horseback and on foot. As for clothing you must bring warm, water- and wind proof clothes, and it is also a good idea to have several layers so that you can regulate your clothing depending on the various hardships. You must also be prepared for long shots, 200 – 350 meters is not unusual, so therefore we also recommend that you before the hunt spend time training with your rifle, and recommend rifles with a flat trajectory, such as 300 Win Mag. When booking the hunt we will of course send you a detailed equipment list.

The Hunting Experience
This programme is particularly for the adventurous hunters who are seeking the challenge and who would like to be rewarded with a genuine hunt in a wild and untouched terrain and with a good chance of getting a great trophy.

If this is what you are looking for you have come to the right place. You will be able to enjoy the grand and impressive panorama of Tien-Shan during the entire trip. This hunt is not just a ride in a unique nature – it is also a tough hunt, which can be hard on soul and body. The hunting areas have a large population of ibex and as hunting is limited you also have a good chance of bagging a nice mature ibex. On arrival in the main camp, you relax for the rest of the day, zero your rifle etc. The next day you ride into the mountains together with your guide. Once you have spotted a promising ibex the hunt continues on foot.

Ibex
In the sub-alpine climate zone of the Kyrgyzstan mountains lives one of the finest populations of ibex in the world. The quality of the trophies found here are generally also good, with an average size of about a meter, but trophies even larger than this are naturally taken from time to time. It is also possible to combine an ibex hunt here with hunting for wolf. Our hunting districts lie in the eastern part of the country. As mentioned this hunt takes is carried out exclusively from horseback, until you spot a promising trophy, after which the hunt will continue on foot. The hunting camp lies at an altitude of around 3.000m a.s.l. and you will hunt in terrain between 4.000 and 4.500 a.s.l. The hunting season is from 15th August to 15th December and from 15th February to 31st March

Hunting tourism in Kyrgyzstan

Located at the heart of Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan is known for incredible natural beauty and proud nomadic traditions. Also known as the ‘melting pot’, Kyrgyzstan is a home for over 5 million people of 80 different nationalities. With a total area of 198, 5 thousand sq. km (76, 640 sq.mi) it is about the size of Nebraska, and borders with Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and China. Kyrgyzstan has been under the Soviet rule from 1924 to 1991, when it gained independence and became a democratic republic with a parliamentary government.

The country is almost completely mountainous, being found at the juncture of two great Central Asian mountain systems – Tian Shan and the Pamirs. More than half of Kyrgyzstan lies at an elevation higher than 2, 500m (8, 200ft). Only about 1/8 of the country’s territory lies lower than 1, 500m (4, 900ft), while glaciers and permanent snowfields cover more than 3% of total land area. Kyrgyzstan’s highest point, the Victory Peak, named after Soviet victory in World War II, is 7, 439m (24, 406ft) high.

Snow-capped mountain peaks, crystal clear lakes, rushing streams, highland pastures and meadows, unique flora and fauna are what make up the land of this small country. Once a stop-point for merchants and travelers along the Great Silk Road, it was an oasis and a welcome relief after crossing perilous mountain passes on the way from China. It was this very road that had brought the famous Venetian explorer Marco Polo to these lands to later discover the world’s largest and most magnificent sheep in 1273. These sheep Marco Polo had described to have horns “three, four and even six palms in length”, which is why they hold an almost mythical status to any trophy hunter to this day.

Climate: The country’s climate varies by region. While it’s subtropical in lowland Fergana Valley in the west, the climate is temperate in the northern foothill zone. The lower mountain slopes have a dry continental climate, as they receive desert-warmed winds from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, whereas the highest mountain elevations, where most of the hunting is conducted, have a polar climate. In the valleys, the average daily temperature in July is 28° C (82° F). In January daily averages are as low as -14° C (7° F). Conditions are much colder at high elevations, where in July the average daily temperature is 5° C (41° F) and in January -28° C (-18° F).

Hunting Area: Prime hunting areas are one of the most remote in Kyrgyzstan and are mainly located in the northeastern portion of the country. Hunting is conducted in Issyk-Kul and Naryn regions at 12, 000ft up to 13,500ft above the sea level between September – 1st December and 10 January – 28 February.

The areas are known for the legendary lake Issyk-Kul, one of world’s largest mountain lakes as well as the country’s largest river Naryn that originates in the northeast and flows westward through the middle of the country. While the terrain is high altitude, it is not extremely rugged, which enables us to reach base camps on Toyota Land Cruiser vehicles that are just the right means of transportation in a roadless territory. Rough, serpentine roads take you through a number of nerve-racking mountain passes and gorges, gradually ascending to 10,000 -12,000ft where the base camps are situated.

The region is often described as the ‘polar desert’. Not only does it pose challenge in terms of high altitude terrain, but also temperature wise that can get extremely cold and windy. Weather at such altitudes is rather unpredictable. Even the most experienced hunters may experience acute lack of oxygen, headaches, motion sickness and general weakness. To this reason we recommend to take one-day adaptation to the climate and altitude at the base camp. Since the climate is dry, keeping oneself well hydrated is a must. A good physical condition is a necessity, and also check with your doctor before the trip. Proper clothes and equipment are also key to combating harsh conditions. Please, see our Asian/MarcoPolo & Ibex Hunters’ Equipment Checklist for recommended outerwear, equipment, medication and other personal items.

Sacred mountain Sulaiman Too

In Kyrgyzstan, near the city of Osh, there is one of the main shrines of Muslims-the Sacred mountain Sulayman-Too

Osh is the second largest city in Kyrgyzstan and one of the oldest in Central Asia. The exact date of its Foundation is still unknown. Since its written history dates back more than a thousand years, and archaeological finds generally speak of a three-thousand-year history. Historians say that in ancient times, Osh was surrounded by a fortress wall, had three gates, and a citadel stood inside. At that time, the city was a major trade center on the great silk road, which connected the Mediterranean and the middle East with the Pamirs, Tibet, China, and India. Since ancient times, Osh has been famous for its bazaars and caravanserais. The main market is located on the left Bank of the AK-Bura river, and is a classic example of the Eastern covered market-tima. For more than two millennia, the Bazaar has lived its noisy and vibrant life, changing its buildings and expanding its borders, but it remains in the same place.

Legends connect the Foundation of the city with king Solomon (Suleiman) and Alexander the great. For the first time the city of Osh is mentioned in Arabic sources of the IX century.
At that time, mount Sulaiman-Too served as a reference point for travelers who considered it sacred. This ancient monument of art and history has been known since time immemorial. Until the XVI century, the mountain was called Bara-Kuh, but then it was renamed Takhty-Suleiman, which means “throne of Solomon”.

This is how this sacred mountain was called until the XX century, when it was again renamed Sulaiman-Too.
The mountain has always had a cult significance for believers, especially for fire worshippers. Some historians believe that the prophet of Zoroastrianism, Tatustore lived and created their teachings at one of the caves at Sulaiman-Too. There was also one of the temples of the Zoroastrian cult of water and fire. It is possible that the name of the city of Osh comes from these words – Ohsho, Yahsha-Osh. Until now, the mountain keeps a lot of valuable and amazing information-hundreds of petroglyphs are carved on stone slabs, walls of caves and grottoes.
Unfortunately, as happened with so many religious objects, the mosque was destroyed by the Soviet authorities in 1963. However, thanks to the preserved ancient images of this architectural monument, the mosque was restored in 1991.
The Sulaiman-Too mountain range is a calcareous remnant, extending just over a kilometer and 560 meters wide. The highest point of this massif reaches 1175 meters.
There are seven caves in the mountain, the entrances of which are framed by grottoes. The most famous and popular among pilgrims are the caves “Chakka Tamar” and “Tepeunkur”. According to ancient beliefs, the “Chakka Tamar” cave has unique healing properties. The entire mountain range is skirted by the sacred water channels Jupas-Aryk and Jannat-Aryk, which are still used by medieval water-lifting wheels. There is also a mosque, “Rawat-abdullakhana”, which, according to some reports, was built in the XVI century and the building-hujra (“house of Babur”).

Today, mount Sulaiman-Too is a kind of Mecca, which is the last hope for many of its visitors. The main part of which are women. Someone asks Sulayman-LLP for well-being for the family, someone – health, someone-procreation. People believe in the magical properties of the ancient sanctuary.

Sights Of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan

An interesting city is Bishkek, whose name in the local dialect means "device for kumisovzbivaniya". Currently, this locality is the capital center of Kyrgyzstan, in addition, it is a modern city of historical significance.

The city is surrounded by a young spirit that energizes tourists who come here from all over the world.

Since the seventh century, the history of Bishkek began, but at that time the created settlement was called Jul, which sounded like a blacksmith's fortress. Later, many centuries later, in 1825, a fortress was built in this area, called Pishpek, which was one of the largest garrisons of the Chui valley. The city's history preserves the memory of the two-time capture of the local Baitik-Baatyr by Russian soldiers and tribes. As a result, the fortress fell, November 1862 was the last period of existence of this structure.

Six years later, the settlement of Pishpek was created on the vacant site. A decade later, the County seat was moved here, and the area received urban status. 1991 gave the city a new name Bishkek. This event happened after the Declaration of independence of the Kyrgyz Republic. According to local lore, this locality received this name due to its consonance with the original "name". Copyright www.orangesmile.com
There are a lot of sights in Bishkek. So where is the best place to start your introduction? It is natural to start with a visit to the main attraction – the Kyrgyz Museum of historical significance. You will find the building of the research institution on Ala-Too square, which is located near the government house. Walking through the halls of the Museum, you will be able to get acquainted with the history of the city during the primitive communal, slave-owning system, in other halls you will be able to learn how people lived under the feudal lords, And in the largest hall there is an exhibition that tells about the history of Bishkek.

Many tourists who visited this Museum highlight an exhibition dedicated to women's jewelry that was worn by fashionistas of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In addition to these expositions, you can see the history of the October revolution, as well as how this locality was affected by the Patriotic war. And the building itself is a magnificent structure with a beautiful dome and unusual decor.
Erkindik gallery is located in the heart of Bishkek. Locals call this place "Arbat", and others call it "Vernissage of the city". Here, many artists and artisans exhibit their works, which you can buy if you like a masterpiece. In addition, everyone can choose the perfect souvenir that will always remind you of the "green Bishkek region".
Looking at the paintings, you will immediately notice how bright the canvases are, and the palette of colors is diverse. The amazing thing about them is that there are no similar images. All of them are individual and convey different moods. At the end of the walk, be sure to order your portrait or image of a loved one. Local artists are so adept at their work that it is difficult to distinguish them from the original. Novice artists will be able to observe the work of craftsmen and, perhaps, learn some skills.
At the end of your walk, take a look at the sculpture Museum, which is located in the city center, directly under the open sky in an amazing green place-oak Park. In the middle of it stands a beautiful fountain called the "twelve bowls". The sculptures located in the Park were created by talented sculptors of Kyrgyzstan, who gladly presented them to Bishkek.

Walking along the paths, you can see various sculptural figures, both in group and single view. In total, there are about a hundred types of pedestals. There are sculptures made of metal and stone. In addition, the atmosphere in the Park is simply fabulous. Oaks-sorcerers, like huge giants, welcome guests and protect them from the outside hectic world. You can walk through it and enjoy the peace and quiet.
You can get to Bishkek from Moscow by air. There are regular flights in this direction. You will have to spend almost four hours in the air. However, you will not be able to fly directly. On the way, you will definitely have to make a transfer in Novosibirsk. Upon arrival in Bishkek, it is best to use the services of a local taxi, since the Central part of the city is almost thirty kilometers from the airport.
