  • Mongolia used to be a big white spot for me on the map, it always inrigued me, and finally I am here! I started my trip on the border with Mongolia in Russia - Ulan Ude, the capital of Buryatia republic. Then headed to Ulaanbaatar and further to the steppes to stay with a nomadic family and learn about country's Soviet heritage and nomadic traditions.
    I've always dreamt about traveling in Mongolia, and it wouldn't be possible without

      Dear Eli. It is perfectly OK, to do what you feel, no matter what other people think you should do.
      For me are videos about Paris or San Francisco boring. And i am happy, that there is someone like you, who is showing us "russian world" from Black see to Kamchatka. Including ex-soviet countries and countries which were part of that "russian world" , like Mongolia.
      Because of your videos, i am not "average idiot" fed by dumb western TV propaganda about Russia (drunk illiterate gopniks, poverty, dry toilets,...), because you are showing that regions as they really are.
      👍💚

      Hi ELI FROM RUSSIA,
      Thanks so much for featuring Nomaad Glamping travel in your Mongolia travel vlog! We're thrilled you had a fantastic experience and were impressed with our services.
      Your video beautifully captures the spirit of Mongolia, from the bustling capital of Ulaanbaatar to the vast and scenic steppes. We were particularly interested in your segment on staying with a nomadic family and learning about their way of life. It's a truly special experience to immerse yourself in Mongolia's nomadic traditions.
      Thanks again for featuring Nomaad Glamping travel! We hope your viewers will be inspired to experience the magic of Mongolia for themselves.

I have learned so much from you about these places that are so far away from me and almost impossible to ever visit... here I must mention that I am a baby boomer.....

    Superb Eli! The aerial shots were nicely integrated. I traveled there for two weeks by train from Beijing on the way to Moscow in 1992 just after the USSR had collapsed and their economy was in shambles. We had to sneak our relatively fresh food in from China and eat in basements while in the capital but everyone was so resilient and hopeful. I could tell so many great stories form that land. Our driver was drunk all the time and lost but there was nothing to crash into on the steppe so we drove from Ger to Ger (Yurt) asking for directions and became guests automatically. They plied us with fermented horse milk before sending us off again so we were always drunk too!

    Glad to see you visited Mongolia. While most people live in cities the culture is still nomadic and people preserve it. Which is important to not lose your identity in this modern world.
    It’s our second home and we’re celebrating the day we’re finally going back.
    Edit: Mongolians value education a lot! That’s why schools are mostly even more modern than government buildings. And parents are doing everything (!) for their children’s education. I always admired them for that.

Experiencing the blend of urban life and the timeless nomadic lifestyle firsthand is truly a unique adventure. Enjoy every moment of your exploration.
