Spring is the time for nomads to welcome new-born baby animals. We recommend you to come in spring for a stay with nomads if you are a curious traveler and if you like adventures and interested in culture at the same time enjoying the scenic places, attractions and wideness of Mongolia. Stay with the nomads especially during the period of birth of animals, from mid-March to May. You will participate in all nomadic activities related to the birth period of several families from central Mongolia. You will discover here the activities related to the preparation of traditional dishes and of course will discover the animals in another environment and riding a horse around the steppe lands.
