Since the beginning of the Mongols’ history, we have lived a nomadic way of life, migrating to fertile lands and relying on natural resources. Mongolia is the homeland of over 80 million livestock, and the Constitution of Mongolia declares that pastureland shall never be privatised. It is due to the fascinating lifestyle derived from our nomadic ancestors. On this trip, you can experience the authentic nomadic culture.
This trip offers you the chance to experience a nomadic lifestyle by staying with hospitable nomads. You will stay with nomads for a few days to experience the real nomadic culture and observe dairy product-making processes, sheep herding, mare and cow milking, etc. Most of the nomads have extra gear for their guests, which is roomy and comfortable.
Travel to Gurvanbulag community Ger Camp
In the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel and head west to Gurvanbulag Soum (a local administrative unit) in Bulgan province, a 280 km journey that takes 4-5 hours. Gurvanbulag is an impressive camp initiated by a few local families who live in the beautiful natural reserve of Khognokhan Mountain. On the way, we will visit Khar Bukhiin Balgas, the 10th-century ruins of a fortress. During that time, Kitans used it as a defensive position against their rivals. After lunch at Gurvanbulag eco camp, we will rest and have refreshments. Then you can enjoy walking to the nearest hillside. For dinner, you will enjoy the “Khorkhog” the original Mongolian barbeque grilled with hot stones. We’ll be staying overnight in the Gurvanbulag community ger camp. LD
