  • 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.

    Eli, I am so happy that you traveled the road less traveled. I absolutely adore your videos. Just recently I read a book about Genghis Khan one of the great leaders ever and how he shaped the modern world. I am watching the video now and I’m watching the children dancing in costume. The way that you produce these videos with all of the scenery and the music and the costumes and all of the information is amazing. I feel like I’m right there with you. Thank you so very much, my dear. Keep up the good work. 🙏 💕

    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.

    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!

    You never fail to please us ..with your wonderful adventures. You are a trailblazer, and so you surpass all those conformists who only want to visit the boring global “ hotspots. I love the way you lend your full attention to a nomadic tribesman telling you of his migrations among the steppes. You hang on his every word, with utmost respect....as if you understand the language he is speaking. And, I love the music you chose to accompany this episode....especially that piece with a clip from an American Wild West melody.

It means charity and power, and designed with moving of northen seven stars. I heard news that Mongolia suffered from very cold winter. Hopefully everything will be OK.

    Excellent video. I follow your channel from time to time and this is by far the most interesting travel destination you've visited. Mongolia seems like a beautiful country with such an interesting history and you decided to go there in the winter time! Mongolia and Russia has long historical ties and it's not too farfetched to say The Mongols, for good or bad, had a hand in uniting Russia in a geographic sense.
