Nomad family camp near the Gobi

Wonderful, welcoming multigenerational family group. The families move twice a year, summer and winter locations. The live in gers similar to the ger camps, except they're beautifully furnished (see the first pic). We were served yak yogurt, a couple types of fried bread and dried curds. Then we were invited to another ger where they were cooking sheep innards. I was served liver, lung, intestine, heart and a fat membrane. The second and third pics show how that was being prepared.
This is rather well to do clan as they have more than a thousand head of sheep, goats and cattle plus almost 100 horses. While they live in gers without running water, they have solar panels and satellite TV. And they travel by car. 21st century nomads.Read more
