The culture of these people have changed little and like many of Mongolia’s nomads, and particularly those in the north, shamanism plays an important role in their lives. fun things to do in the area is horseback riding, hiking, drive upper hills to see the lake from top view and visit local nomad families. The Gobi is known for its beauties yet unpopulated rich nomadic culture and nature wonders. We believe this tour will enthuse and open your eyes to the beautiful wilderness of an amazing country spread with kind nomads. And where you get travel deeper so the tradition, culture and lifestyle of nomadic people with its wilderness become more extraordinary; giving you more exceptional and authentic encounters.
