Tsaatan Nomads (Mongolia) Tsaatan people are reindeer herders and live in northern Khövsgöl Aimag of Mongolia. Originally from across the border, in what is now the Tuva Republic of Russia, the Tsaatan are one of the last groups of nomadic reindeer herders in the world. They survived for thousands of years inhabiting the remotest Ulaan taïga, moving between 5 to 10 times a year. As the reindeer populations shrink, only about 40 families continue the tradition today. Many have already swapped their nomadic life for urban areas. Nomadic Tsaatan community Canon 5D Mark III 24mm F/11 1/250 ISO800

Tibet Tibet is a uniquely spiritual and inspiring place. Those moments of harmony and peace, brief and precious, when everything seems to be in its right place for the mind, heart, and eye, just seem to come more often here. Despite a tormented political situation, the most striking is for sure the goodness, joy, and devotion of the Tibetan people. Always ready to welcome you with the openness of heart and tolerance, despite decades of political hardship, it is the people that truly make traveling in Tibet such a profound and unforgettable experience. Traveling to Tibet will probably change the way you see and feel about the world. This will remain with you for years and that is definitely the best kind of travel that you could ever dream of.
