- The Mongols. Genghis Khan. The largest land empire the world has ever known.
This is a land home to people who really punched above their weight. But that was history, what's going on in modern Mongolia? Are the traditions still going strong?
After finishing my summer trip around China, I decided to pay a quick visit to China's greatest rival. I was not disappointed.

Mongolians are very hospitable due to nomadic culture, low density sparsely populated, any person you come across or stop by your home Mongolians welcome them, feed them offer any help they can give as they know the visitors coming from long arduous journey, haven't met any people for long time.
Also, I think they know that one day they may be in the same situation. So they treat travelers as they'd want to be treated.
well, that used to be, but, thanks to tourism and capitalism, that's not the case anymore.
Jealous
I've had a couple Mongolian students during my English teaching days. They were quiet and kind people. They gave me small gifts from Mongolia when they graduated my class.
Fascinating! Just like the nordic tribes who were conquerors in times gone past, they seem very peaceful and welcoming today
@@noahbrown4388 ☺️
@@noahbrown4388well we were not conquerors because we were not peaceful we were because of our hope and belief of uniting the whole world in fact there was a place called trading alley that that is so long that it is almost from the one side of asia to the other side of asia and people say a beautiful woman and bucket of gold was able to go safely in the alley with no harm like no one would do anything
@@shadowdante2971 Um ok. I'm not saying ALL people from one race or time in history. But it's hard to ignore all the raping, pillaging and plundering.
Don't worry about it. I'm sure all of our ancestors did at one point, just pointing out the juxtaposition of how people were in the past as opposed to today
@noahbrown4388 that's the problem though, before, long ago, not now. If people would come ànd live in the forefront of their minds, we wouldn't have so many problems, letting people let you relive, even if you where never there for 100s, thousands of years, does a disservice to all of us. Only day you can honestly live in is today.
I cant remember if I've told you this before but your videos are the only things that completely let me forget my problems even if only for a few minutes. Can't thank you enough.
Same. This is how I travel the world.
Straight up facts, can’t agree more my guy.
I go to Mongolia every year, and photograph all the way to Bayan Ogli and the Altai mountains
bayan-olgii lived many muslim kazah peoples
OMG! "Welcome to Mongolia. Here's a beer!" Fucking legends!
@JoshuaC-Work 24:57
"Genocide was cool back then" LMAO
This has to be one of your coolest videos to date. Mongolia seems like such an interesting, fascinating place. The people also seem very warm and welcoming. Hard to imagine that these people once ruled most of the known world back in the day. So glad you got to visit and I hope this isn't your first and only Mongolian vlog. Cheers!
As he said, When the whiskey is easier to drink that the milk, genocide is the consequence. LOL.
@@geo525252 You definitely need that whiskey when you're invading Russia in the middle of winter!
I wonder if in 800 years
people will think the same about hitler....
@@tonettalover Except Hitler just kind of targets one race
@@BatuSmoka808 Except they ain't a race, and they were communist and marxists.
The drinks, you had in a first herder family, are fermented mare milk. It is called "Airag or Kumis in English". It is a Mongolian national beverage. It is perfect for human health and the Number one beverage of Mongolian men (even for women and children) and you have had vodka made of cow milk. It is called "Nermel arkhi" it is not strong, it is soft but capable to be a drunk.
dang; sounds ... .. sounds like... I am looking at how to make urum though
@@MarcDufresneosorusrex i dont rlly remember but i think u can make it by boiling milk for a long time? u can search up it tho cuz i forgot lol
You could get drunk drinking "kumis" too. You just have to drink a lot.. liters of it
“NO” THANK YOU!!!!! Disgusting!! I don’t drink any animal milks, just plant based. Eww😮😮😮
Thank u, good info😊
Thanks for bringing back memories of my youth traveling in Mongolia. Back in the early 90's you can imagine how much more rustic it was.
Dude!! You are all over the WORLD!!! Love the content, and you always have great history lessons to go along with it.
Mongolia is also one of my favourite countries. I loved the people there, and the scenery was beyond words in how spectacular it is. I will definitely return in the future.
Acha que compensa morar?
You are very Welcome
I am from Mongolia but live in Europe. I never been there so I am traveled with you in this video. Thank you so much
watching from Kenya, always been fascinated by the conquest prowess of this dude Geghis
As a Mongolian, that hospitality works only if you’re a foreigner. Never in my 25 years of life, 10 years of taking a taxi, have I offered a beer in a free taxi lol but really glad you had a great time from our people!
i dont think you have ever been to true countryside , Nomads actually dont care if you are foreigner or Mongolian...
Тэд надад сайн ханддаг, би Оросоос ирсэн Монгол хүн,
that wasn’t even a taxi, just some random dude 🤣
so sad...in my whole life in Mongolia as a Mongolian I was offered free ride many times, offered a free wifi hotspot, free phone charger etc., and a warm blanket when I hopped in a taxi shivering from the rain. People are kind and caring and love to talk and get to know each other in this country. Maybe you should slightly change your view to the world and spread kindness. It will definitely return to you
@@tsomotsomik2754 In a country that really has some very harsh conditions sometimes like Mongolia, you can't afford not to offer some generosity to a stranger. Am a Kenyan, and some tribes live in the African savanna, and you can't afford not to offer something here and there be it water or a ride to some women when you are driving through the savanna, so I can relate.
One of the finest episodes in some time! What an interesting history lesson! Thanks Tommy!
24:40 It worked! Ask anyone for a ride and if you say the promo code phrase "It's my first time in Mongolia" they automatically give you a free beer
HAHAHAHAH promo code activated
Mongolia is truly fascinating, what a great video
I was just thinking about this country and wondered why these vloggers never went there. And here you go. Youre a legend for this. Greetz from The Netherlands. Liked your Suriname tour also.
My god, Tommy, not only do you provide fascinating information and insights to the many countries you’ve been to. You have an incredibly quick wit that leaves me in stitches. Thanks for this wonderful look into the places where “real life happens.” Gotta run, Gonna try myself a little horse milk🥴
Yes, you must ! The fermented horse milk is my favorite choice of drink. I grew up drinking that and miss it.
As a Mongolian citizen, I'm grateful that so may people are paying attention to Mongolia because many people misunderstand that we are not a country but a part of China, which is completely false. Thank you for visiting Mongolia I hope more people will visit as well.
Never mind vanlife, it's time for Yurt life!
YUURRRRRRRRRR
@dangernoodle205 Indeed. Now buy my horse armor DLC.
Gay
@cobrazcd
It's weird that you Muslims focus on guys butts. Your religion is gay.
They are lovely spaces to live in.nearly 20 yrs in mine..
Man that was a really friendly stranger for just flagging some random guy down. I'm impressed by Mongolians.
1:12 windows xp wallpaper right there
so god damn true, brings back nostalgia
My favourite part was when you got the free ride and the beer! What excellent hospitality! :D
4:12 was really funny, it got him a shiver. This is unbelieveble how propaganda can influence people so far.🤣😂
@@Fortapistone nahh bro no propaganda about Americans in Mongolia, the old man was just curious, and the shivering was just his way of making the awkward conversation more fun.
@@zagdpurevenkhbaatar3458 Okey
Just came back from Mongolia. Amazing country. ❤
Outstanding lesson! They are very welcoming people. Horse milk sounds interesting. You take us places we can never, ever get to! Thank you.
Magically wonderful Mongolia video.. strong contrast between U.Bator and heavenly green landscape but Mongolian people are unique blessed souls Greetings from Macedonia europe
When you drunk that milk, this is one of the times I said to myself, "I'm glad we are living through you." Lol
If there's such a country like "one of the kind", it's definitely Mongolia. The local people are incredibly hospitable, I mean let's say you're in NYC, can you imagine a stranger picking you up and offering you a beer for free? Not gonna happen lol. Oye Tommy, me gusta mucho tu nuevo corte de pelo, te hace parecer más joven 😊 tu sí eres tan lindo 💜 siempre tienes una sonrisa en tu rostro, ¡me encanta! One more thing, I liked so much your videos you filmed in China , not least because you speak Chinese so well. Alrightey, take care of yourself and enjoy your time in Mongolia, or where ever you are right now...¡Que tengas un gran día! Espero verte pronto 💕 Hasta la próxima! Chao! 💜💕💜
Another beautiful part of our planet to showcase! I got worried you were going on a break from vlogging after that last vid 👌
This really makes me want to go to Mongolia. This place really seems awesome.
Never get tired of watching your journeys in different parts of the world, some part of the Mongolia looks like my hometown Tibet, endless grassland and beautiful blue skies! ❤
Watching you try airag (mare’s milk) took me back to my first time trying it. You really do get used to the flavor. 😂
I lived in Mongolia for 3 years learning the language and immersing myself in the culture. Truly one of the wildest places on earth with some of the nicest people I’ve ever met!
I don't think so .. lol. Bushyboy Oz
I think airig is fermented horse milk or ‘beer’. And it looked like he also had the distilled airig or vodka. Now that was truly amazing when i tried it. So smooth!
Interesting meeting with the Kalmyk dude, he must be happy to be back in the homeland (Kalmyks are ethnic Mongols who happen to be the only Buddhist majority group in Europe), kudos to him for saying no I'm not Russian (he meant by ethnicity, though he has a Russian passport somewhere in his pocket).
Rossiyanin (Россиянин) is a citizen of the Russian Federation.
Russian (Русский) is a person of Russian ethnicity.
People outside of Russia use just "russian", but it's incorrect. Most off russians are russkij anyways, even if not 100%.
Thank you for all your awesome videos!
17:45 Holy sh1t, that could be the Windows XP legendary wallpaper v2.0 with the camels, its perfect
looking forward for more Mongolia episodes !
Mongolian people seem very welcoming. Would love to venture there one day.
What an eye opener this was ! Such an interesting look into a culture I knew nothing about before. Thanks as always Tommy ☺️
As a mongolian i approve you have very good grasp on our history and really good pronunciation of mongolian words as a westerner.
I've seen a lot of western people struggle to say a word in mongolian.
Just so you know Age of Empires II (came out in 1998) is still widely popular today and and the Mongols is one of the top 5 best civilizations in the game.
Most mongol invasions were small band of bandits looting trip when the time on grassland was tough. Even today mongol region has the highest robberies. Before and after mongol empire, this place was actually victims of invasion by Chinese empire. Numerous Chinese victory stone tablets recording military conguests were discovered in mongol region.
@@alexoolau不用查看石碑，中国历史书里就记载了。不需要求证。
@@alexoolau china has always been attacked by nomadic peoples, but that doesn't mean they don't hit back from time to time and drive straight to the heart of the nomads, where it hurts
I’ve always wanted to travel to Mongolia I find the people so peaceful and just the way of life seems very appealing. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for the beautifull content once again. Keep showing us the world!
The people giving you to go milk and food/sharing their national food as you left 😭. So sweet and proud of their country.
Always a great video. Its funny how awkward it gets after he says he's an American. The first guy shrieked and lifted up his shoulders in shock.
It's a hilarious insight into what type of news is big in a place and/or within a generation
I'm so happy you are visiting this country! I've always wanted to go here, the vastness reminds me a lot of my home in Canada. My mothers side of the family are Russian/Mongolian and they lived in a small village in Georgia before it became a country of its own. During the Mongolian attacks they raided my great grandmothers village and now we have Mongolian blood in us. Their traditional way of life is so humble and simple!
wut?
@@Strollerist What confuses you about my comment? I'm happy to elaborate!
@@mylenahbug3602 Don't you mean great great great great...grandmother? That's MY confusion. I don't know about that other guy lol.
@alimuslima Nope! Unless my great grandmother was full of it, but its not that great to undermine the tales of your elders. 😅 Looking at old family photographs, you can see the mongolian influence on genetics!
@@mylenahbug3602 OK, I thought the Mongolian raids ended many centuries ago when their empire fell.
VERY COOL! Thanks Tommy for finally allowing me to the Country I've always said I would visit. I had a trip planed but my Girlfriend from Wuhan who had been there once, refused to go saying it's boring, dirty and the food was bad. I did however hang out with some Mongolians in Beijing and they were some of the coolest and most inciting people I've ever met. Your adventure confirms that.
@@PHXXX99 Lol... Thanks, perhaps some truth in that, or not (long story) I sorely miss her. She being from China and having some Mongu (蒙古族) blood, there may have been reasons beyond her stated reasons, I respected that, She istead found a cheap deal for a week in Sanya, and beyond the beach and sun, we had some indelible adventures. Being from Alaska and growing up around Eskimos, and Native Americans, Mongolia presents a magical appeal for me.
@@JohnK111 Well... After a reprieve from what you long to leave behind, returning to it can be an unpleasant reminder of a not so pleasant life. On the other hand, another Manchu friend ( 艾敬 - 我的1997 - ruclips.net/video/adLBAWi6-Oc/видео.html ) who left an even more unsightly place ( Shenyang) and when asked about what she thought of Tokyo said: "I feel more comfortable in places that are a little bit dirty, it's a reminder of where I came from". I respect both sentiments.

@@JohnK111She’s right, Wuhan is way more cleaner, if you had the chance to see it with your own eyes you’ll find out, not just picture something with your imagination.
Always look forward to a new Sabbatical video!
mongol rule yuan dynasty was destroyed by the next ming dynasty in 1403. When ming dynasty collapsed 250years later, the Qing dynasty ruled both China & mongolia until its collapse in 1911.
Thanks Tommy I have always been fascinated by Mongolia and it's people. This is a nice insight into their everyday lives today. And a first for me seeing someone milk a horse. Brilliant stuff 👏 👏👏
Cool to see you in Karakorum. Cool video, hope you will uploading more from Mongolia 🇲🇳
Great video of my home country and people! Thank you! Just FYI, that yard in Kharkhorin is a Buddhist temple that was built way later on on the ruins of the capital Kharkhorin. Actual city of Kharkhorin was much much bigger just as displayed in a well established local museum there. Another thing to correct here is that the two humped camel or Bactrian Camel wasn't imported but rather it was domesticated here on the steppes of Mongolia. We still have the ancestors of the Bactrian camel, Khavtgai, the wild camel, that is roaming the remoteness of the Gobi today.
Fun fact. Majority of Mongolian people's diet consists of milk and it's products. But mongolians are highly lactose intolerant.
So that means they're supposed be bathroom runners and beat boxers but on the other end of the openning right? Fortunately no.
Because there's special kind of bacteria lives inside mongolian dwellings (ger or yurt) that helps digest milk products.
As a city mongolian, i can't wait for the summer to come so i can go to country and indulge myself with airag all i want :)
MATE, YOUVE CRACKED ME UP IN THIS VIDEO LOL... WISH WE COULD SEE MORE OF MONGOLIAN'S SERIES
Always interesting, thank you for taking us on your adventures and journeys.
Amazing, thank you for sharing this adventure! I cant believe that man gave you a ride, a beer and wanted nothing in exchange. This might be the nicest country in the world
So glad your back and Mongolia is a awesome country
Hey Tommy, great to see a new video after the China series. I didn't know how long you would be out after you mentioned there was a health scare. Love your content
As mongolian your video is awesome and your reactions were priceless. I hope i will see next episode soon
Glad to see you are really ok Tommy. Mongolia nice! What kind people...I hope you stay for a bit seems like there is a bit more to it than people realize. We always see those mountains and the flatlands but never see a city or what people are like in the city...interesting and thanks for sharing man. Stay safe.
Absolutely love this! So different than what I thought ❤️🇨🇦
You know it's hilarious watching this video, because I think I had a view of Mongolia before I started watching this and while I'm surprised by almost at least one or two things in all of your videos, I was completely unsurprised by almost everything in this video. This is almost exactly how I would have imagined Mongolia. Overall, this is a gem to watch because of it!
I doubt I'll make it to Mongolia my lifetime but just like you, for whatever reason, I kind of wanted to visit this place, but I feel i don't need to anymore.
Something about seeing the 24/7 convenience store and endless grasslands in the background... 😅😅
Finished the Video Tommy and it rocked......a few laughs with the guy giving you a car ride and a beer.....
That brought back some nice memories. I spent nine months there in 2005. fantastic place!
Nice looking country and city ! Can’t wait to see more vids you bring of Mongolia 💪🏿
Thank you for this. It is very interesting to see the culture of these people.
You deserve all the kind people giving u beers Sab
that was some real hospitality, a free ride, a free beer, and a new friend. long live Mongolia
Thanks for all the videos, the best travel channel in tube! Blessings brotha!
"The whiskey's easier to drink than the milk. No wonder this country's so dangerous" damn that hit RIGHT!
I love how modern camera can handle the shot directed to the sun.
Nice video anyway. Thank you Tommy for the show on Mongolia.
Very "versatile" culture. They became one of the nicest people in the world in the most peaceful area on the planet. God bless!
Ghengis Tom back at it again!!
😂
i watch your video alot and so happy to see you are visiting mu country 😮welcome man
Incredible video of a place so many will never be. Thank you for showing some of their true culture l.
Mangolia, dude, that was awesome. Keep it coming, keep doing what you're doing.
Regarding stopping cars on the street, it's exactly the same in Uzbekistan. Did it hundreds of times and never had a problem. Kind people.
Can’t believe he doesn’t have over a million subscribers.!!!!! Would be awesome to see him and bald and bankrupt do a show together. That would be awesome!!!! Epic!!!!
Mongolia is one of my favourite countries. I've been there twice - the first time in 2015 after taking the trans-Siberian train from Putinia, and the second time in 2019 when I spent 2 weeks there. Mongolian people are very friendly to foreigners (although they tend to be mean drunks), it has a fascinating history and it's developing fast.
I came to like the food as well. Airag doesn't agree with me, but I like aaruul (the hardened milk curds), khailmag (heavy cream mixed with flour and sugar, khuushuur (fried meat pie) and buuz (steamed dumplings).
ty for showing up mongolia sabbatical. one of the first languages i want to learn is russian or chinese because of you. mongolia seems like they have really cool people.
Getting a free ride and beer in one of the emptiest countries on the planet is totally unexpected!
You look really tired my friend. Take care of yourself. We need you , you my favorite guy to travel the world n learn about their culture. Hope you doing better ..
Love this style of video man. informative and interesting, beautiful country!
Watching your videos is like a meditation for me. Thank you.
Great video. You make the watcher feel like they are there.
I've watched all of your videos and this IMHO was one of your best. Hope you can give us more content, thanks buddy.
Well Tommy, Now that your down to earth coolness has become our guide to humanity, take it away captain!!!🎖️🍻👏🏼
xD the guy wasn't even a cab didn't mean to actually stop but some misunderstanding happens and he just casually gets in the car?? 😂 i think i even heard him saying "ah no he's coming in"
I love the opening😊 I love Mongolia 🇲🇳
Cool video 😎
♥️🧡💛
Loved the music at the end 👍🏽🍻
"This might be the horse whiskey speaking...but..." this one got me 😝
Always the best!
Thanks.
Thanks!
Outter Mongolia ( Mongolia) was still part of Chinese until 1946 officially claimed Independence, then there's Inner Mongolia which is situated inside of China, border to Outter Mongolia, just like South Korea and North Korea they cut into a half. But Inner Mongolia's GDP now is 18X bigger than Outter Mongolia.
USSR forced the separation of outter mongolia to be under USSR control from KMT govt of China. KMT China was weak then due to the continual civil war after ww2.
@@achtungbaby2009 You would hardly find Chinese in Outter Mongolia even you do find are mostly Inner Mongolian Chinese as they can blend into there. The country only spread hates toward Chinese, but the Chinese never returned the favor against them. That tells you something abt which country is really fucked up in their system and their heads lol
Thanks for a great great video God bless u so nice watching your videos only a pleasure watching
this greetings from Tommy ,from South Africa
Been to Inner Mongolia back in 1988. Backpack alone for 3 weeks by train from Hong Kong to Beijing then Inner Mongolia. One of the most memorable trekking holiday I ever had.
You are so cool ! Glad you enjoyed in our country 😊
Great content. Would love to see more about Mangolia through your perspective
Beatiful at the end. Great video. Thanks
Another great video Bro. Thanks for showing us Mongolia 🇲🇳
6:00 He is Kalmyk. Kalmyks are Mongolian tribe migrated to Russia 17th century. You can google Kalmykia
Thanks for exploring ❤
