Not all, but a few of our horseback adventures include a stay with the nomadic herder family or reindeer family. Your Mongolian experience will be incomplete without a nomad family visit or nomad family stay. We arrange the Mongolia nomads homestay upon clients’ request. The nomad experience can last a day to several days.
You will stay in an extra ger of a nomad family, furnished with 3-4 single beds, altar, stove, coffee table, and small stools. A private ger or single supplement depends on the ger availability and your tour group size.
Most nomad families use felt mats, which are not as soft as the mattress. Our nomadic hosts wash the bed linens after each guest. Although, we suggest you use your sleeping bags, which we could provide.
During the cold season, your nomadic hosts will set stove fire to keep your ger warm and is required even at night.
With improved transport, infrastructure, and the influx of modern technology, things are changing for the modern-day nomads. Satellite phones, trucks, and motorcycles have taken the place of horses.
You will see the horses roaming free on the steppes, more motorbike riders than horse riders. There is usually a vehicle/truck or a motorbike by a ger, satellite panel, solar panel, and car aqua to light the ger or watch TV. The cellphone reception is available vastly. The nomads access the internet through 3G and 4G to connect the world or communicate with Facebook friends.
Your nomadic hosts will prepare the daily 3 meals for you. As once in a lifetime experience, we advise the nomads to be authentic and offer local meals to the visitors. Due to tradition and availability, meat (mutton, beef, and goat) domains for lunch and dinner. Nomads use some common and easy to keep without fridge vegetables for meals, such as onion, cabbage, beets, potatoes, and carrots. The pros are the nomads tend to serve organic meals as they use their own pasture grass-fed animal meat and vegetables commonly grown in the fertile Mongolian soil. The cons are, Mongolian meals are monotonous. Expect handmade cookies, handmade Mongolian bread, dairy products, and milky rice soup for breakfast.
Expect barbeque, various meat soups, dumpling soup, noodle soup, dried meat soup, steamed dumplings, fried meat pie, fried noodles, Mongolian beef, or Mongolian mutton for lunch and dinner.
The nomadic host could accommodate special diet visitors if you inform us/them in advance.
