Hunting

Ancient eastern manuscripts provide us with account of hunting - the pastime of rulers and high-ranking courtiers. Hunting scenes also predominate on murals. In those time, hunting was conducted with borzoi dogs, cheetahs and falcons. Today our goal is to revive those long-forgotten customs and make them accessible to hunting enthusiasts.Hunting tours are advised to be taken in the majestic mountain gorges of Western Tian-Shan (justly compared to Switzerland), in the sands of the Kyzyl-Kum, and in other parts of Central Asia.Hunting tourism in Uzbekistan is a comparatively new sport, therefore there may be slight deviations from your itinerary regarding the organization of the hunt. Nevertheless, we hope our goodwill and the exotic combination of ancient eastern architectural monuments with hunting excitement and our colourful service will make your tour an unforgettable one and the trophies of rare animals will be "Gems" in your collection.
Hunting is conducted all-round year. The methods of hunting depend on the season of the year together with the wishes of you, the hunters.Falconry. The revival of bird hunting, an ancient tradition throughout Central Asia is quite significant. It was during the 7th century BC that the first falcon nursery was established in China. it was here that these skilled birds wearing special hunting helmets started to serve man. Central Asian falconry traditions are known for their diversity. Different hawk species are used to hunt different prey such as pheasant, hare, waterfowl, rocky pigeons, etc.
Today wild birds of prey in Uzbekistan are protected. All kinds of eagles and falcons have been included into the Red Book of Uzbekistan and protected by law. Falconry now being revived in this way. Hunters are, once again, specializing in this style of hunting. The feathered hunters are seeking out their prey. Let this beautiful sport flourish. In its revival, let us heed to this wise principle: invest in nature what you take from it.
