Mongolia Tsaatan reindeer herders group tour

Planet

We travel with deep respect for Mongolia’s pristine landscapes, following sustainable practices that minimise our impact on the delicate taiga ecosystem. Every step of our journey is carefully managed to preserve the region’s natural balance—taking nothing from the environment and ensuring our presence leaves no lasting mark.

Through extensive hiking and horseback riding, we embrace the philosophy of "Take nothing but memories, leave nothing but footprints." By traveling without cars, we reduce emissions and minimise our impact, moving through the land in the same way the Tsaatan people have for generations. This commitment means leaving no waste, no foreign materials, and no disruption to the fragile wilderness that the Tsaatan people and their reindeer depend on for survival.

By choosing ethical travel, we help safeguard both the reindeer herders' way of life and the ecosystems they call home. Responsible tourism supports the Tsaatan in maintaining their deep connection to nature, ensuring they can continue their traditions without being forced into urban migration.

People

By visiting the Tsaatan reindeer herders in Mongolia, we play a role in preserving their ancient traditions through responsible tourism that honors and respects their way of life. This journey is more than just an adventure—it’s a rare opportunity to engage with the Tsaatan people firsthand, learning from their wisdom while ensuring they directly benefit from ethical travel.

Every aspect of this experience is shaped in collaboration with local families, ensuring it remains both culturally immersive and mutually beneficial. From staying in family-run felt gers to supporting locally owned accommodations in the cities, travelers contribute directly to the economic well-being of the Tsaatan and surrounding communities. Our partnerships with local guides, translators, and homestays not only provide deeper insights into Mongolia’s rich heritage but also create lasting, positive impacts for those who call this land home.

This adventure is a true cultural exchange, built on respect and understanding. Our guides help travelers navigate important customs, from announcing their arrival before entering a ger to avoiding unintentional signs of disrespect. These small but meaningful gestures foster genuine connections, ensuring that our presence is one of appreciation rather than disruption.
