We could run this itinerary as a private tour for your group of 4. Pricing should be very similar as the small-group tour is based on pricing for a minimum of 4 people.

  We could arrange a short meeting with an Eagle hunter and their eagle in Terelj National Park. We can definitely arrange some horse-riding as well - Terelj National Park is an ideal spot for this. Ideally we would need 15 days.
