The house

A Mongolian family company, not a tour agency. We take a small number of hunters and travellers each year and look after every one of them ourselves, from the airport lounge to the last ridge.

From the Altai to the Gobi

Our hunting areas run from the high Altai in the far west, through Uvs and the Khangai foothills, down to the Gobi. Select a region to see what is hunted there.

Species

Mountain game of Mongolia

Every hunt runs on an official licence and quota, within the legal season. Trophies are measured to SCI standard.

    The hunt

    One team, arrival to export

    A typical Altai program runs seven to twelve days, with two to six days in the field. We handle the permits, the flights, the camp and the paperwork on the way home, so you can concentrate on the hunt.
