Mongolia in winter is a very different country from Mongolia in summer. It offers unique beauty to the scenery and the culture.  Even though it doesn’t snow much in Mongolia, snow that fall sticks and stays almost until May as the temperature never increases above 0°C.

🇲🇳 From the largely Kazakh enclave of Ulgii we went out and spent some days as guests of eagle hunting families. Khairatkhan was a very experienced hunter and had an affectionate relationship with his eagle. Eagles are not given names, but are only known by the number of years they are. After about 7 years the owner, with much sadness, releases his eagle into the wild, to sustain the gene pool and repay it for the years in servitude, before training up another young eagle. Khairatkhan had won many eagle festivals and we rode into the mountains with him on a genuine hunt.

🇲🇳 The horses, that are ridden daily, are mostly tied up to a hitching post. The rest of the horses roam freely on their own, without much supervision from a herdsman.

Opposing the typical desert image in our head, in the Gobi Desert, one can see mountains, grasslands, rivers, small lakes and most notably oasis, which is critical to its wildlife and plants.

Mongolia is mountainous, with an average altitude of 1,580 meters above sea level. The principal mountains are concentrated in the west, with much of this region having elevations above 2,000 meters and the country's highest peaks permanently snow-capped and covered with glaciers.

🇲🇳 Nature has shaped the religion and the philosophy of Mongolians. It has inspired a simplified and satisfying way of living. Through thousands of years, nomads have passed down their wisdom of worshipping, adapting, and living in harmony with nature instead of being frightened by it, or destroying it.

In Mongolia, you will discover an extraordinary ancient culture set in a timeless land. Here, for thousands of years, survival has required resourcefulness, independence, and a close affinity with mother nature and her spirits.
