Show some love for the reindeer by subscribing to us (just kidding haha). We had such a good time at the reindeer people. We felt very privileged to be able to witness their way of living... and... to cuddle the reindeer! Some more videos on Mongolia coming, but very soon we're heading to Beijing!
Thanks Tia and Andy! We loved staying with them. When their daughter was not around we could not talk because of the language barriere but we just sat around the stove together having tea and trying to communicate using sign language. We loved it 😍
@@NaickKim There's a park in Nara full of deer. I made a video about it. Will let you know when I post it. My channel has lots of videos about Mongolia now. Be sure to check it out!
The Tsaatan belong to the Tuva ethnic group that lives in Russia. From what I read before we visited, they came to Mongolia from the Soviet Union during the second world war. Then Mongolia tried to send them back a few times but eventually gave them citizenship in the '50s. They're a very interesting people, we loved staying with them! They still live way up north & very close to the Russian border 😊
@@NaickKim they r Mongolian. Mongolia has many ethnic groups like buryads tuvans in Russia. When Mongolia got its indepence they tried to come but Russia doesnt want it to happen. Same goes to inner Mongolians as well
@@noname-ml7lm Yunusbayev et al. (2015) suggest a clearly mongoloid origin for the proto-Turkic people. During and after the migration into Central-Asia, these tribes mixed partially with Indo-European nomads. Yunusbayev et al. note that "genetic studies have not identified a clear-cut unifying genetic signal for the Turkic peoples, which lends support for language replacement rather than demic diffusion as the model for the Turkic language’s expansion." Yunusbayev et al. found that "most of the Turkic peoples studied genetically resemble their geographic neighbors," which agrees with the elite dominance model of language expansion. According to Robbeets, the proto-Turkic people descend from the proto-Transeurasian language community, which lived the West Liao River Basin (modern Manchuria) around 6000 BCE and may be identified with the Xinglongwa culture. They lived as agriculturalists, and later adopted a nomadic lifestyle and started a migration to the west. The origins of the Turkic peoples has been a topic of much discussion. Recent linguistic, genetic and archaeological evidence suggests that the earliest Turkic peoples descended from agricultural communities in Northeast China who moved westwards into Mongolia in the late 3rd millennium BC, where they adopted a pastoral lifestyle. By the early 1st millennium BC, these peoples had become equestrian nomads. In subsequent centuries, the steppe populations of Central Asia appear to have been progressively Turkified by a heterogenous East Asian dominant minority moving out of Mongolia. Many vastly differing ethnic groups have throughout history become part of the Turkic peoples through language shift, acculturation, intermixing, adoption and religious conversion. Nevertheless, certain Turkic peoples share, to varying degrees, non-linguistic characteristics like cultural traits, ancestry from a common gene pool, and historical experiences. The takeover by the Karakhanids did not change the essentially Iranian character of Central Asia, though it set into motion a demographic and ethnolinguistic shift. During the Karakhanid era, the local population began using Turkic in speech - initially the shift was linguistic with the local people adopting the Turkic language. While Central Asia became Turkicized over the centuries, culturally the Turks came close to being Persianized or, in certain respects, Arabicized.
Mongolia's climate is the same as that of Siberia. It's right next to Siberia (maybe technically even a part of it, I'm not sure). So in winter it gets really, really cold with average temperatures around minus 30 degrees celsius. Reindeer love the cold and thrive in it. And during other seasons there are plenty of mountainous areas they can take them where they're still protected from the heat 😊
Thanks Malcolm! 😊 Naick actually read something about the reindeer online and soooo wanted to go see them because it's remote and something different. And I (Kim) just love everything that reminds me of Christmas, so we had to go 😉
Oh my god this looks magical 😍 it wasn’t on my itinerary for next year but watching your videos keep messing up said itinerary anyway! This place must be amazing in the winter too
We went with Golden Gobi tours from UB. We were really happy with them, did the Gobi tour with them too before this trip actually. We paid 180 usd each for 7 days. This included (very bumpy) transport from Moron to a horseman living near Tsagaan Nuur, the northernmost city or town of Mongolia, a night at the horseman's house, 2 days on horseback to the Tsaatan, 2 nights at the Tsaatan (1 fully day) and then the same trip back (again 2 days horse riding, night with horseman, van back to Moron). All meals were included except for lunch on the horse trek days. During our stay with the Tsaatan we slept in their guest ortz for free. During the horse trek we slept in a tent (brought our own because we had it, otherwise the agency gives you). It was really, really good value for money. One downside for you is that Golden Gobi told us that vegetarian meals are absolutely not possible with the Tsaatan or even heading there and that is true. Most meals are made by cooking dried meat in water for a while and then adding stuff like pasta or rice into that.
Naick & Kim wow that’s incredibly cheap! :O do you know if the tsataan people get a bit of the money (if they do want it) to help them support themselves? And thanks for the heads up about the food, i’ll keep that in mind 😬
Ohhhhh those babies are so cute!!!! 😍 that is a really cool experience, now it’s in my list!!! 😉 thanks for the video, I enjoyed it, smiled it and even said “sooo cute!!!” Hahahaha
You got a lifestraw you mean? We read those are good! The water with the pills was a bit chlorine tasting but not too bad. Just don't leave them in there all day and make sure to finish the bottle after a few hours or otherwise the taste will get so strong that you might as well drink straight from a swimming pool 🤣😉
By the way, you were heading to Russia and Lake Baikal really soon, right? The Tsaatan actually aren't far at all from Irkutsk, they're pretty close to the Russian border. And a Mongolian visa is pretty easy to get so maybe you could even do it as a side trip from Irkutsk? 😉
@@NaickKim Yeap! we are living tomorrow to catch the flight to Beijing!.. we already has the tour to the Great Wall (I will let you know how was it) and the 11th we will be in Vladivostok... I wish we can go to Mongolia, but not this time, we have all the train tickets and hotels already paid. So it will be next time cos after your video I know we will enjoy it a lot!!!! even the horse part hahahaha.. And yes! i have the lifestraw bottle
What is the tour company you use please? I’ve been searching for tours that would guide me to the reindeer but there isn’t much information. Thank you for sharing!
Hahaha yes so staged! 🤣 you can't believe how long it took us to make that one reindeer nibble at Naick's pants 😉 thank you for watching Eibol as always 🤗 we loved this place too!

Спасибо! Очень атмосферное видео. Как будто сам побывал в этих местах.
The real evolution for humans is to keep the beauty of the original nature and the purity of livelihoods. What a rich lifestyle.
I already miss the Tsataan people and their beautiful reindeer!
🦌🦌🦌🎅
Oh my goodness, so many reindeer, so cute! It's so cool that you were able to stay with a host family and learn about their ways. Great vlog!
Thanks Tia and Andy! We loved staying with them. When their daughter was not around we could not talk because of the language barriere but we just sat around the stove together having tea and trying to communicate using sign language. We loved it 😍
What an adventure--the experience of a lifetime, to live amongst a people such as these. Thank you for sharing.
You bet! It was a really unique experience!
How wonderful! The reindeer are so cute!
Yes they are really great. It was wonderful seeing them in real life. They were very gentle animals.

So worth the time and trouble you went through to visit.
Really fun to watch this one!
Best, James and Kim
Thanks guys 😉🙏🏻
What a nice video, so cute the reindeers. Love it.
🤗❤️
Tsataan people are Mongols too?! Or that people is part of evenk or yukagir people?

You guys! 😚 I love this video! Leaving sub and 👍this baby Santa helper was sooooo cute 😍
Yeah the baby was my favourite too! He was sooooo soft and cute. Loved his mini antlers 😍🦌
Woow! It’s gorgeous ❤️ great video and those reindeers were so cute! 😊 hope you didn’t struggle with swamp on the way back! Fingers crossed
The reindeer were the best! We luckily made it back safely. Pretty tough coming back again, but now we felt like very experienced riders!
Yeah we loved the reindeer! Such cool animals. Too bad we couldn't fit one onto the horses to take it home 😉😅 thanks guys 😊👊🏻
Naick & Kim you’re definitely experienced riders! Good job! 👏
Naick & Kim that could be cool! 😊
@@KristynaRomain that would have been something to film, taking a reindeer on our horse 🤣

Also, did you book a tour to get there? And if so, what company did you use?
I think it would be incredible in winter but very, very cold. Average temperature will be around minus 30 degrees Celsius 🤯

Agreed, it is by far one of our best experiences! Can we get a pet reindeer?
It's build of larch. Nice video. Safe trip!👍👍👍👍✌✌✌✌
Really, I read in the Lonely Planet that it should be birch? 😊 well, anyway, it is definitely a type of big tree 🤣 thank you 🤗
@@NaickKim In fact it could be build of any long trees, that are avaiable in the area, I guess. In Huvsgul it's mostly larch.

No it is Mongolian language because our language is altaic language that is why sound like Turkic
