Visit the Tsaatan people
Visiting the Tsaatan people, a small tribe of reindeer herders, is a unique and unforgettable experience that allows travelers to learn about the culture and traditions of one of the last remaining nomadic tribes in the world. The Tsaatan people live in the northernmost region of Mongolia, near the border with Siberia, and their way of life has remained largely unchanged for centuries.
The Tsaatan people rely on their reindeer for transportation, food, and clothing. They move their herds according to the changing seasons and weather conditions, living in portable teepee-style tents made of felt and birch bark. Visitors can stay with the Tsaatan people and experience their way of life firsthand, learning about their customs and traditions.
During the summer months, the Tsaatan people migrate to the high mountains, where they live in close proximity to their reindeer herds. Visitors can join the Tsaatan people on their seasonal migration, hiking through the stunning landscapes of the taiga forests and the rugged mountain terrain.
The Tsaatan people have a rich cultural heritage, including shamanism, animism, and traditional throat singing.
