Nearing 70, Eagle-hunter Khayzim Burkitkhan (his surname literally means “Khan of Eagles”) is one of the oldest active Eagle Hunters in Western Mongolia. His knowledge in the ways of the eagle is priceless. He is a Master in this ancestral art, the 5th generation of a traditional eagle hunting family. His long friendship with Master Baytei Babii, & other masters, make him play a crucial role in transmitting & sharing his knowledge with the younger generation, including his son & two grandson’s.
My name is Apostolos Kaloudis, and I'm an adventurer. I consider myself as an adventurer/explorer, rather than a photographer. When I was studying Medieval History, I was amazed by stories and details of military campaigns. Something that impassioned me later to go out and explore remote lands, such as the Silk Road, the vast Steppes & deserts of Central Asia & northern China or even former Himalayan Kingdoms.
