This trip gives you a great opportunity to celebrate Mongolian traditional festival with Mongolian nomads. During Genghis Khan’s period White month - Mongolian New Year may have been celebrated in summer but today White Month celebrates the end of severe winter, the beginning of spring and start of Lunar New year. The festival is held over three days between February and March depending on lunar calendar.
Each family cleans every corner of the house and Ger before the first day of celebration. During the festival everyone wears new clothes and each family makes lots of food and beverages as a symbol of being clean, rich and happy in the coming year.
In the morning of first day Mongolians make a special greeting Zolgoh that means younger person is giving a respect to the older generations. During the days of festival Mongolians eat the traditional cuisine and drink Airag, which is the traditional drink- fermented mare’s milk, and exchange gifts to each other especially to the children.
There is no way to imagine a Mongolian festival without the spectacle traditional wrestling and horse racing. On this trip you can see the winter horse racing and wrestling.
The trip gives us a great opportunity to celebrate Mongolian traditional festival with Nomads and visit to other nomadic family on Mongolian horseback.
