I went on a solo adventure into western Mongolia with Indy Guide (https://indyguide.com) to explore what this amazing part of the country had to offer and visit the eagle hunters of the region, I was not disappointed. The views were on another level, especially in the Altai mountains but the Kazahk people were just extremely welcoming and open which made the experience one to remember. Staying with a different family each night, experiencing their daily routines and eating and drinking with them. We continued to make our way around the west, attending the Nauryz eagle festival and exploring some of the snowy mountains in the Altai by horseback. Filming my adventure through Mongolia was extremely tough, we were on the move constantly and electricity is hard to come by so I relied on power banks a lot to charge my camera, being from Africa i’m not used to temperatures as low as -20 degrees celsius during this time of the year and of course the language barrier but I thoroughly enjoyed the every moment and it was one of the most raw feelings of travel I have experienced.
Thanks to Ati Tosun from Indy-Guide for making this trip such a success in terms of an adventure, I hope this video gives a small insight into what is to be expected when visiting this part of the world.

4000 years ago ancient Mongols first time domesticated horses and because of horse business they invented first trousers/pants for better horse riding uses more than 3000 years ago. Russian genetics institute proved in late 1990s that all world horse breeds genetics origin traced back to Mongolian horse, which is crazy sweet fact for us.

i know many Europeans talks about Mongolian horse like pony. however im not agree with that because Mongolian horse is much stronger than European horse. Back in the day Mongolian horses left their foot print in Europe. European horses never made to Asia even to Mongolia but Mongolian horses made it all the way to Europe.

8 Nomadic tribes of Mongolia. Full Documentary

13 feb. 2018

This is the story of three nomadic tribes of Mongolia which, though they inhabit the same territory, have different cultures and traditions. But with one common denominator, they are all HEIRS OF GENGHIS KHAN.
800 years ago, this man, called Timuyin and better known as Genghis Khan, “The King of the Universe”, managed to create the largest empire ever known in the history of humanity.

It all begin in the year 1190 when Genghis Khan managed to bring together the different nomadic tribes of Mongolia in a single, powerful army of 200,000 men. This, and his undoubted military genius, enabled him to conquer vast territories, stretching from the Pacific to the heart of Europe, and from northern Siberia to India, Iran and Turkey.
His armies – relatively small, highly disciplined, extremely well coordinated and with innovative military skill and great mobility, were organised into “toumans”, a basic formation of 10,000 warriors on horseback. The Mongol hordes lived out in the field and their battle tactics consisted of surprise attacks, charging at the enemy flanks and rearguard before launching heavy cavalry assaults.

With the end of the Khan dynasty, a series of civil wars threw the country into confusion, until, in 1578, Buddhism was established as the form of government, under the leadership of Altan Khaan. Two centuries later, Mongolia came under Chinese control, until 1924 when, with the creation of the soviet bloc, the country converted to communism and became a satellite of the USSR.

With the arrival of the Russians, Mongolia underwent rapid changes, modernising and industrialising. Buildings, bridges, roads, railway lines, factories and schools were constructed…and the nomads looked on in astonishment as, virtually overnight, their country was transformed from a primitive feudal society to the progress of the twentieth century.

Ulan Bator became the new, cosmopolitan capital of this renewed country, designed in accordance with the cold, impersonal urban planning standards of the Soviets. The result is an atmosphere which gives the visitor the impression of having landed in a lost, remote city in Siberia.

But with the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989, and the consequent disintegration of the Soviet bloc, the Russians left just as quickly as they had arrived, and overnight Mongolia was completely paralysed, suffering political and economic collapse from which it has still far from recovered. Since then, the city has rapidly deteriorated, and its inhabitants struggle to survive as best they can.
The situation in rural areas is also dramatic, and every day hundreds of families arrive in the city, fleeing from poverty and hunger. The new settlements which have been established in recent years have doubled the surface area of Ulan Bator and it is calculated that around forty per cent of the city’s inhabitants still live in “gers”, the houses of the nomads.

But in any case, and despite the great empires, invasions, civil wars and political and social experiments, in the interior of the country few things have changed since the time of Genghis Khan.
On the vast Siberian steppes, where winter lasts for ten months, the life of these nomads is virtually the same as that of their ancestors. The horse is still their means of transport, and they continue to live by cattle-rearing and hunting.

9 Mongolia: The Last Eagle Hunters | 101 East

8 dec. 2017

101 East takes a spectacular journey into the wilds of Mongolia to search for an ancient lifestyle that’s in peril – the traditions of the Kazakh golden eagle hunters.
 
With perhaps only 60 eagle hunters left in the remote mountains of the country’s northwest, it’s feared the tradition could die out within a generation.
 
As boys from the far-flung villages head to the city for jobs and the chance of a better life, saving their traditions could now be left in the hands of young girls.

10 A Journey Through Mongolia (Full Length Documentary)

31 jan. 2017

Mongolia! A Journey through Mongolia is a travel documentary from our one month trip through the great expanses of the Mongolian plains. 
 
We started the trip with a few days in Ulaanbaatar to experience the sprawling metropolis. We also had a chance to go to Hustai National Park not far from UB to see the last remaining wild horse, the Takhi. Then we went on a ten day adventure to go live with the Tsaatan Reindeer Herder tribe in the very north on the border of Siberia. This was an incredible experience and it was very demanding with multiple days on horseback after a long strenuous multi-day 4WD trip. After a short recovery we went to the eastern part of the country to the Bayan-Ölgii Province to attend the Golden Eagle Festival. This festival has really been the focus of the Mongolian travel in recent time, very much because of Aishol-pan the “Eagle Huntress”. We had a chance to meet this incredible girl who is certainly an inspiration to women across the world. After the festival we went and lived with an eagle hunter family deep in the Altai Mountain Range. 
 
We hope you will enjoy this full length travel documentary and please subscribe to our channel for more adventures around the world. If you have any questions or comments please leave them here and we will be happy to answer if we can.

14 Genghis Khan. Nomadic Desert | Culture – Planet Doc Full Documentaries

17 jan. 2015

This documentary tells the story of three ethnic groups which, though they inhabit the same territory, have different cultures and traditions. But with one common denominator, they are all HEIRS OF GENGHIS KHAN. 

▶ Documentary “Heirs of Genghis Khan”
http://pdoc.es/GenghisKhanPl

800 years ago, this man, called Timuyin and better known as Genghis Khan, “The King of the Universe”, managed to create the largest empire ever known in the history of humanity. It all begin in the year 1190 when Genghis Khan managed to bring together the different nomadic tribes of Mongolia in a single, powerful army of 200,000 men. This, and his undoubted military genius, enabled him to conquer vast territories, stretching from the Pacific to the heart of Europe, and from northern Siberia to India, Iran and Turkey.

Two centuries later, Mongolia came under Chinese control, until 1924 when, with the creation of the soviet bloc, the country converted to communism and became a satellite of the USSR. With the arrival of the Russians, Mongolia underwent rapid changes, modernising and industrialising. But with the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989, and the consequent disintegration of the Soviet bloc, the Russians left just as quickly as they had arrived, and overnight Mongolia was completely paralysed, suffering political and economic collapse from which it has still far from recovered. Since then, the city has rapidly deteriorated, and its inhabitants struggle to survive as best they can.

The Gobi is an extreme, arid desert, covering a third of Mongolia. With temperatures of up to 50 degrees centigrade in summer, which generally fall to 40 degrees below zero in winter, life in the Gobi is harsh and difficult. he Tansendarya live in a camp composed of four gers, the traditional shelter perfectly adapted to the needs of nomadic life. For them, the horse represents much more than simply an animal used for transport and carrying goods, which they began to tame 4,000 years before Christ.
Small, fibrous, and incredibly resistant, with strength greatly out of proportion to their size, these horses were key in enabling Genghis Khan to create such a powerful army.

While it is still summer in the lowlands, up in the valleys of the Dorkhod Sayani mountains autumn arrived several weeks ago, suddenly and without warning. This is the home of the Tsaatan, one of the smallest and least well-known tribes in Asia. The life of the Tsaatan has never been easy, but since the arrival of communism, part of their culture, traditions and daily life have been destroyed. The herds of reindeer, which had belonged to them since time immemorial, became state property. The Mongolian government accuses them of sexual relations between cousins, brothers and sisters, and even parents and their children. The Tsaatan, which literally means “the reindeer people”, are an ethnic group originating in Russian Siberia, with their own language whose origin lies in Turkey.

In the Altai range, winter has arrived with even greater force than normal, and at the start of October a thick layer of snow already covers the mountains.
Though we are still in Mongolia, the majority of the people who live in this region are of Kazakh origin. Like the Mongol nomads, they too live in gers, but theirs are considerably bigger and much better decorated. Nothing could be more exciting and enjoyable for a Kazakh from the mountains than to go out hunting with his eagle. These hunters always use female golden eagles, which they consider to be much more aggressive than the males. The Kazakhs use nets to trap eagles when they have just eaten and so are unable to fly. For the first month, they are kept inside the ger, to accustom them to the sounds and smells. Then, for several weeks, they are trained so they maintain their balance on the arm of the rider as he gallops along. Finally, and most difficult of all, they are trained to return to their master after they have been released. From the time they are caught, they always remain close by him, even sleeping at his side.
Today, and because they are isolated by the Altai mountains and the river Hovd, these hunters have been able to preserve their language, their cultural traditions, and their identity as Kazakhs.

And that is the story of three ethnic groups that live in a world of constant movement, struggling to preserve their most valuable treasure, their culture, which, little by little, is being wiped out by a society engaged in a headlong rush towards globalisation.

15  Mongolia. The Desert Country / How People Live / The People

22 nov. 2020

 
My trip to Mongolia went through the Gobi Desert and off-road to the only city – Ulan Bator and was as extreme as possible. How people live in a country where there are still only 3 asphalt roads throughout the country, many live in the middle of the desert with camels. In order not to freeze in winter, some have to dig homemade artisanal mines, from where they sometimes do not return. Trees in this country hardly grow. I have visited the desert, mine, yurt and the largest city – the capital Ulan Bator.

25 A journey through Mongolia | DW Documentary

11 aug. 2017

Fashion and Mongolia – on a journey through her homeland, Saruul Fischer explains how she connected her two passions.

Saruul Fischer left Mongolia for East Germany at the age of eleven. But she still felt a strong attachment to her homeland. Later she developed a fashion label that would allow her to connect her two homes. In Ulaanbaatar, her company “Edelziege” manufactures clothing from fine cashmere which is then sold in Germany.

This documentary accompanies Saruul Fischer on a trip back home to Mongolia. The capital of Ulaanbaatar is no longer the city of her childhood memories, but she still regularly visits relatives there. Her trip takes her to the west of the country, where she sleeps in a yurt on the expansive steppe. What does the fashion designer think about the changes that have taken place in Mongolia? How has this transformation affected the Mongolians’ affinity with their traditions? Saruul shows us a life far from civilization, a life that may not exist much longer.

26 Mongolia: From the Steppe to the Slum | 101 East

8 jan. 2021

Weather conditions on Mongolia’s steppes are notoriously extreme, with temperatures ranging from minus 40 degrees Celsius in the northern hemisphere winter to 35 degrees Celsius in summer.
 
But climate change is bringing on more severe weather patterns and with average temperatures rising at three times the global rate, the soil is becoming less fertile, leading to significant livestock death events known as “dzuds”.
 
Experts predict a new dzud could affect 60 percent of the country. This is an existential threat to Mongolia’s traditional nomadic herders.
 
101 East meets the families fighting to survive on the steppes and those who have been forced to abandon the nomadic life.
