About This Experience
Live like a Kazakh nomad on the stunning Nalati Grassland. Learn to assemble a traditional Kazakh yurt (kiiz uy) using wooden frames and felt coverings, prepare traditional horse milk tea (kumis), and try your hand at eagle hunting demonstrations. End the day with a lamb feast and Kazakh folk songs around the campfire under the Milky Way.
Cultural Significance
Kazakh yurt building is an intangible cultural heritage representing millennia of nomadic wisdom. The portable dwelling is engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and winds, using no nails—only wooden lattice frames and wool felt.
