Discover endless plains, vibrant festivals, and nomadic life on an alluring trip to Mongolia.
Mongolia, nestled between China and Russia, is a land of timeless nomadic culture and untouched landscapes. The nomadic way of life is deeply ingrained in its culture, and it is way too appealing for travellers who are in search of nomadic or primordial culture. For travellers who adore nature, Mongolia offers stunning landscapes which are perfect for relaxation and adventure activities.
Amidst all these, the place also has a diverse and rich cultural heritage which is evident in its Buddhist temples and monasteries. For example, The Erdene Zuu Monastery, which is the earliest surviving Buddhist monastery in Mongolia, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site showcasing Buddhist architecture. On the other hand, the capital city is a cultural hub with numerous museums showcasing the country's rich history and art. In short, Mongolia is a blend of nomadic culture, spirituality, and beautiful landscapes, perfect for travellers who seek adventure, tranquillity, and spiritual experience.
What's unique about Mongolia is its nomadic heritage. While most countries that had rich nomadic traditions have lost their nomadic identity and practices, Mongolia still maintains the nomadic culture. The best way to experience this culture is to visit two or three families, which gives a good chance to witness their day-to-day activities and hospitality. However, if you want to get fully immersed in their culture why not stay with a nomadic family for several days? That's possible. Travellers can live with a family and engage in their daily lives. While staying with your host family, you can learn horse riding, milking the cows, cooking Mongolian food, and other nomadic activities.
If your purpose for a vacation is to get away from the hustle and bustle of cities to a tranquil place, Mongolia is right up there. From the Gobi Desert, and pristine lakes, to rugged mountains, all these offer tranquillity and relaxation.
