Description

Nomadic families in Mongolia need your help with traditional chores and activities. This is a unique opportunity not offered by traditional travel agencies and tour companies. We are seeking committed, able-bodied volunteers to come to Mongolia and live with ethnic Mongolian families in their gers (yurts), and to help them in their everyday routines. You are going to experience milking animals, riding horses, cleaning the fence, preparing the food (dairy products, learning to make Mongolian food) with the nomads, looking after the animals etc.

Highlights

During your volunteering duration you are totally going to turn into a Nomad- learning all kinds of skills that no one else other than nomads can show you.
