Western Mongolia
Western Mongolia
Western Mongolia is a country of majestic snow-capped mountains, awe-inspiring pristine nature, different ethnic groups, historical artifacts, crystal clear water and saltwater lakes that are the habitats of the rare waterfowls.
Among the ethnic groups, Kazakhs are the national minority and the only Muslim people in Mongolia. Mongolian Kazakhs have been preserving their custom and tradition in their origin compared with the Kazakhs of different countries. They hunt with trained eagles and the majority of the Kazakh families have traditional musical instrument dombras. They play, dance, and sing with the dombra wearing traditional embroidered clothes and live in colorfully decorated, slightly bigger gers than the gers in the other parts of Mongolia.
