Perpetuation of the Nomadic way of life

The nomadic way of life has endured in Mongolia for centuries. However, the drift from the land has been more and more massive for several years.

Horseback Adventure commits itself to working mainly with Nomad family or horses herders instead of tourist camp. Thus, we value their way of life and grant them an income allowing them to carry on livind according to their ancestral customs. We grant the nomads a fair income and we have a good wage management, thus we avoid two main pitfalls. First, we don't take advantage of the Mongolian legendary great hospitality, but we pay them in order to enable them to live according to their tradition without the need of migrating towards the city be vital.

On the contrary and according to us, a well-thought-out wage management prevents nomadism from being blighted by the tourism activity. The mongolian nomad culture is rich and it's the every one's duty - and in particular the duty of the tourism economy players - to stand up for the cultural diversity and to promote the respect of the peoples. Travelling in Mongolia and meeting the nomads is very fortunate as it's an extraordinary cultural experience. Together, let's try to preserve this heritage in order to enable the next generation to continue living in a culturally varied world.

Each of us can add its contribution to this ideal, and it may start here, how you think up your trip and what itinerary you choose.
