A closer look
Staying at a bed and breakfast is quaint, but paying to sleep in a felt tent with a family that commands massive birds of prey is a genuine flex. In the frozen steppes of western Mongolia, Kazakh nomads continue the ancient tradition of hunting on horseback with semi-wild golden eagles. Guests endure brutal sub-zero temperatures and a diet consisting heavily of mutton just to witness these apex predators dive-bomb foxes at sixty miles an hour, an experience that will make your golden retriever look exceptionally useless when you return home.
