Tours to Mongolia – Enjoy the Mongol Nomadic Culture

Mongolia continues to attract a lot of visitors, tourists, and adventurers because of its breathtaking landscapes, the charm of the city, and its culture. One of the most remarkable aspects of the country is its nomadic culture, which you can explore and experience in a specially arranged tour. In fact, a tour in Mongolia is never considered complete without experiencing the Mongol nomadic culture. A classic cultural group tour arranged by a reputable Mongolia travel specialist like Goyo Travel can get you started in some insightful and comfortable trips to Mongolia through varied landscapes while enjoying the Mongol nomadic culture.

Mongol nomadic culture is one of the oldest, dating back to at least a million years. Nomadic families continue to thrive across the steppes of Mongolia, with their herds living off the land, and in return, nomads live off the meat and milk of their animals. The family life is centred around a ger, a large and portable tent that is made of ornate wooden slats, felt, and tarpaulin outer covers. The ger is able to provide shelter and ample protection against the coldest temperatures, and it has everything a nomadic family will need, including a small kitchen, a shrine to holy figures or to their ancestors, a sleeping area, and a central stove.

A tour to Mongolia can let you experience the nomadic lifestyle and culture first-hand. Some tour itineraries include eating and staying over with a nomadic family, too. A homestay is a good chance to have cooking lessons and riding lessons, too. Some of the best Mongolia tour specialists can arrange a stay at a reputable ger camp in the spring or just before summer starts, which is usually the best time to enjoy and experience the Mongol nomadic culture without the crowds. That way, you can enjoy the peace and tranquillity of nature and countryside.
