Twenty hunters aged 14 to 86 competed in the 11th edition of the two-day event celebrating Mongolia's thousand-year-old tradition of hunting with trained Golden Eagles.

The festival, centered around the unique art, which is passed from generation to generation among the nomads, is held twice a year in the spring and autumn.

One of the more interesting tourist activities in Mongolia, it attracted around 3,000 domestic and foreign visitors this year.
