If you want to experience a nomadic life, come and visit Mongolia where there are many nomadic tribes that
still maintain their traditional lifestyle. A nomad family lives in a circular tent called ger. It’s a convenient
and cosy home equipped with necessary furniture and even modern electrical appliances like a TV or a
fridge. In winter, Mongolian nomads usually take it down and move to a warmer place for shelter. Because
they raise free-range herds of cattle in large quantities, they are in the habit of moving at least four times a
year to find grasslands for their animals to eat. For daily meals, the main food there is dairy products, so it is
their practice to serve a fermented milk drink for breakfast. Having a nomadic life requires people there to
have good health to suffer from frigid air or scorching heat in dramatic weather changes.
They are good at riding horses and using eagles to hunt for food. There are still many other unique nomadic
customs and traditions for you to discover, so don’t hesitate to travel to this marvelous land.
