Everyday life: The life of Mongolian is punctuated by caring animals. A Mongolian nomadic family has five types of animals: horses and sheep for hot season and cows, camels and goats for cold season.
Several times during the year, according to the needs of livestock and pasture conditions, nomadic families move their yurts.
In summer, the nomadic family will favor a location near a river, to ensure water supply for the family and herds, and good pastures.
In winter, the priority is given to protection against the intense cold of Mongolian winter, and the family settles its "winter" camp sheltered from the wind in a small valley or at the edge of a forest.
The woman is very busy with the household, kitchen, 2 or 3 children, and milking the mares, cows... at least five times a day.
The husband watches the herds of yaks, horses, cows and sheep scattered on often significant surfaces and must gather them every night to protect them against the wolf attacks, frequent in Mongolia.
He also deals with equipment maintenance and repairs.
Ways of cooking: In traditional Mongolian cooking, seasoning was not used; although salt was there a long time and it is used it even in tea! Typically, they cook with a wok and most of the foods are either boiled or stir-fried.
Since a lot of livestock is raised in Mongolia, it is no mystery that Mongolian cuisine revolves around them. Sheep and goat are most popularly which are either grilled or boiled. Traditionally soup and dumplings used to be in all the courses of the meals, without which, it was regarded to be incomplete.
There are many types of crafts can be found in Mongolian culture: wooden sculptures, ger - nomadic dwelling, metalwork, embroidery art, leather crafting, art of jewelery.
The traditional masterpiece of Mongolian is the urtyn duu accompanied with the morin-khurr. Most famous Mongolian dance are: Jinai dance (milking dance), the Caihong dance (rainbow dance), the Zhongwan dance (bowl dance), the Kuaizi dance (chopsticks dance), and the Andai dance
There are lots of festival in Mongolia but these are the most well-known one: Tsagaan Sar (Lunar New Year); Khovsgol Ice Festival; Naadam Festival; Gongoriin Bombani Hural; Ölgii Eagle Festival.
