Arkhangai, Mongolia
The nomadic culture in Mongolia is critical to the health of the steppe ecosystem. The rotational grazing patterns practiced by nomads for centuries is important in allowing the land to rest and regenerate. You will be visiting families that are fully nomadic, encouraging them to keep this important heritage alive.
Participate in the daily activities of nomadic families and learn about traditional nomadic lifestyles. By living and immersing yourself in nomadic communities, we are able to supplement their income while allowing them to sustain this important traditional livelihood. To prevent over-extending the nomadic families, we will strive to ensure that each family hosts one group of guests at one time without losing their primary livelihood.
