TEMPLE VALLEY NOMAD FAMILY
THE NOMAD FAMILY SETTLED IN THE VALLEY OF MOUNTAIN TEMPLE
The couple of horse breeders we work with are named Mende (the Wife), and Ganzorig (the husband). They live by the land, thanks to their many horses and especially the mares they milk to produce dairies and the iconic Airag, or fermented mares’ milk. Their Airag is very fresh, and the taste must be tried by any traveler crossing their land. During our time around their camp, we will observe their daily tasks, like the milking, gathering the horses, but also we will sit down and talk about their family roots connected to Buddhism, and how one of their sons chose to become a monk, currently living and working at the Gandan Monastery in Ulaanbaatar.

Discover The Lifestyle Of
THE TEMPLE NOMADS, THE HORSE BREEDERS
The entire family including the family of their son, and cousins living very close is quite large and very warm. Many of their children will indubitably come and ask a lot of questions about you and will want to share many stories. They live right in between the forested mountains, very close to the Tuvkhun monastery, along a small river nourished by its streams. This land is charged with lots of energies, and feels really peaceful. This entire region is charged with History as well, making it a very attractive option between other main sites of interest in our journeys. What a better place to be and meet with the people that live by this sacred land!
