FESTIVAL DE CHASSE À L'AIGLE
In August, a particularly photogenic festival celebrates the tradition of eagle hunting on the southern shore of Lake Issyk Kul.
Every August, the Bokonbaevo eagle hunting festival is in full swing, organized by local CBT coordinator Baklit Choytonbaev. A dozen or so trainers perpetuate eagle hunting traditions in and around Bokonbaevo. Unfortunately, their numbers tend to dwindle over the years, but the festival remains a colorful, not-to-be-missed opportunity to admire one of Central Asia's most elegant hunting traditions, and to see at close quarters golden eagles and falcons, the preferred species for training.
