About This Tour
Mongolia remains one of the last places on Earth where a fully nomadic herding culture thrives. This deep-immersion tour places you inside the daily rhythms of nomadic life — helping to herd horses and yaks, learning to make airag and aaruul (dried curd), milking mares at dawn, and sleeping in gers that are moved with the seasons. You'll leave Mongolia not as a tourist but as someone who has lived, however briefly, the world's oldest continuous way of life.
Tour Highlights
- Live with two different nomadic families in contrasting landscapes
- Learn to ride Mongolian horses on the open steppe
- Participate in dairy tasks: milking mares, making airag, and crafting aaruul
- Help herd horses, goats, and yaks alongside your host family
- Learn basic survival skills: fire-making, felt production, and ger construction
