Extreme Living: Inside Mongolian Nomads’ Gruelling Spring Migration

SUBSCRIBE to the Barcroft network: A YEAR on from his first adventure, Timothy Allen has made another trip to visit the Kazakh eagle hunters of Western Mongolia. The photographer and filmmaker made the trip across the Altai Mountains in western Mongolia for the first time in 2015 and was the first outsider to walk with a Kazakh family on their spring nomadic migration. This time around he was excited to be joined by eight photographers from Europe, USA and New Zealand as well as 13 Mongolians. The Kazakhs of western Mongolia are known for hunting with eagles and each year - between February and April - around 200 families make the 150km trip across the Altai mountains, in temperatures of up to -40 degrees celsius.  Videographer / director: Timothy Allen Producer: Crystal Chung, Nick Johnson Editor: Joshua Douglas Barcroft TV: Barcroft Cars: Bear Grylls Adventure:
