This unique winter journey takes you deep into the taiga forests of northern Mongolia, where the Tsaatan (Dukha) reindeer herders continue their millennia-old nomadic traditions. Unlike the Reindeer Migration Tour that focuses primarily on seasonal movement, this trip emphasizes immersion into winter life in the taiga.
You will witness not only the migration but also the harsh realities of survival in winter, including how families keep warm in their urts (reindeer-skin tents), herd reindeer through snow, and adapt to the extreme environment of the Darkhad Depression. This tour offers cultural encounters, storytelling, and firsthand experience of Tsaatan rituals, making it distinct by highlighting the winter adaptation and resilience of the reindeer culture.
It is more challenging than soummer trips and is ideal for those seeking adventure, cultural immersion, and authentic human connection in one of the world’s most remote landscapes.
