If you've ever fancied really getting away from it all, forget exotic beaches or desert islands: volunteering in Mongolia on our Nomad Project is the thing for you!
Sign up for our Nomadic Life placement and you'll join a group of Mongolian Nomads and experience a way of living that has barely changed in a thousand years.
Our cultural project in Mongolia is a unique volunteering opportunity; working and living with some of Mongolia?s nomads allows you to learn about a unique group of people and their ancient way of life through your own personal experiences. It is also a good opportunity to gain experience of looking after animals such as goats, cows, yaks and horses.
Life on the Mongolian Nomad Project: Horse Riding and Farming
Culture & Community, Mongolia Nomad Project - Horse Riding Volunteers live with a family in large round tents known as Gers which are surprisingly cosy and comfortable. Your daily life may include riding horses to move herds of yaks or cattle, caring for livestock, helping to produce dairy products such as butter and cheese and maybe teaching a little English. It is a great way to learn more about this ancient way of life and how it is being affected by modern-day Mongolia. In exchange for helping with the animals or playing with the children, your host family will fully involve you in their domestic life.
Volunteers with an interest in sports will find themselves very popular if they join in with games of basketball and volleyball. You can get to know your Nomadic family better by playing traditional Mongolian games, teaching some English and perhaps learning a bit of the Mongol language. In addition to this, you are sure to get involved with the milking of the livestock. And all the while you will be enjoying the spectacular scenery of the Mongolian Steppe.
