Traditional Mongolian Nomadism

Traditional Mongolian nomadism is a lifestyle where people migrate seasonally with their herds of livestock, such as horses, sheep, goats, camels, and yaks. This movement allows them to access fresh pastures, avoid harsh weather, and sustain their pastoral economy. Nomads live in portable, gers (yurts) that can be easily assembled and dismantled. Their social structure and culture revolve around community cooperation, animal husbandry, and a deep connection to the land. While modern influences have transformed some aspects, many Mongolian nomads maintain this mobile way of life, balancing tradition with contemporary changes.
