Nomadic Life in Mongolia

Baak and Batjarjral Tulga are Mongolian nomads. The two brothers have travelled on the Steppe all their lives. Together with their wives, children and grandchildren, they move their traditional Mongolian ger tents four or five times each year, seeking out new pastures. The family spends much of their time tending to their livestock. Horses, goats, sheep and chickens all provide food and a source of income. They still travel on horseback and all are adept at riding but will use motorbikes when carrying goods into town for sale. The nomadic families live an uncomplicated life, close to nature and in harmony with the animals, which are a significant part of their lives.
