What To Expect
Mongolia’s nomadic culture is famous - visitors can sleep in a herder’s ger, help round up the sheep, ride horses and simply ‘get back to nature’. A culture tremendous hospitality makes locals more accessible. In a world beset by locks and gates, it’s refreshing to meet people willing to open their doors to strangers.
