Ethno-Village Tour Eagle hunting show, Horseback show and Lunch
Description
Step into the world of Kazakh nomads at the Nomad Ethnic Village, just outside Almaty — a living cultural experience unlike anything else in Kazakhstan. Watch a breathtaking eagle hunting show as trained golden eagles soar and strike on command — one of the most ancient traditions of the Kazakh steppe. Then enjoy a spectacular horseback performance by skilled riders before saddling up yourself for your own horseback ride through the open landscape. Test your aim at the archery range with a traditional Kazakh bow, then sit down in a cozy yurt for a taste of kumys — the legendary fermented mare's milk that has fueled nomads for centuries. The day ends with a generous traditional Kazakh lunch prepared by local families. Hotel pickup included. English-speaking guide throughout.

Very nice welcome in the village! We loved the different shows and activities offered Thank you very much!!
We had a wonderful experience visiting the Ethno Village with Kazakhstan Very Nice. It was a great opportunity to experience Kazakh culture and traditions, enjoy the traditional performances, horse show, archery, and the beautiful atmosphere of the village. Everything was well organised, and we truly enjoyed this unique cultural experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Almaty and wanting to learn more about Kazakh culture! 🇰🇿
The Ethno Village Tour was a good experience something different The horse gymnastic shows were daring and breathtaking The female guides were quite pleasant and helpful speaking good English Lots of axtivities like Horseriding,Archery,Kazakh costumes etc were part of the activities included.
we liked the tour and enjoyed it. The views were very beautiful and the organization was good.
Really enjoyed the trip with John, who was very helpful throughout. Spoke excellent English and had a good banter going most of the time. There was some confusion with other group members in the morning which led to a delayed pickup by an hour, and eventually eating up our lunch time. The trip to the glacier was extremely rewarding - such a surreal experience walking under the frozen glacier. Do note that going into the cave is optional and you need to pay 3000 KZT extra - pls carry cash. Overall, the trek is not very difficult, with just some moderate level bouldering at some spots. Only feedback is if a buffer is factored in for delays so lunch isn’t missed out - was famished by the time you return to the hotel by 5PM, as you start the day at 6AM, and are running only on breakfast
A great introduction to Almaty. We saw a lot and learned about the history and culture of Kazakhstan. Amir was a great guide for our first day here.
The tour is good, the guide is very friendly and shares a lot of information visit the most important points of the city
