Highlights
A spiritual tour through the Taiga, meeting both shamans and monks, would be a unique experience filled with deep connection to nature, ancient wisdom, and spiritual practices.
The Taiga, or boreal forest, is a vast and remote region, often associated with pristine landscapes, quiet solitude, and sacred traditions. Meeting shamans, who are likely to draw from indigenous practices tied to the land, would give you insight into the spiritual relationship people have with nature and the unseen forces they believe influence life. On the other hand, monks, depending on the region, could offer teachings rooted in Buddhist, Taoist, or other spiritual philosophies, focusing on meditation, mindfulness, and inner peace.
- Buddhism and Spirituality: You'll visit various Buddhist monasteries like Erdene Zuu, Tuvkhun Monastery, and Amarbayasgalant Monastery, as well as encounter the spiritual practices of Mongolian Buddhism.
- Nomadic Culture: Staying with nomadic families will provide a rare look into traditional Mongolian life—their family structures, livestock, and customs.
- Nature and Landscapes: The stunning steppe, mountains, forests, lakes, and national parks create a serene backdrop for meditation, reflection, and spiritual growth.
- Shamanism: As a part of Mongolia’s spiritual diversity, shamanism plays a prominent role, especially in remote northern regions like the Taiga and areas around Ulaan Uul. You'll learn about spirit communication, rituals, and the intersection of shamanic practices.
