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.
