Reindeer related information: Reindeer produce very little milk, so you cannot purchase it. But not to worry, you can still drink reindeer milk tea made by a local reindeer family. Some families with many reindeer sell cheese, so when you meet such families you can ask them to buy some. After we ask the owner first, we can also ride a reindeer for a short amount of time.

This unique Reindeer Festival will take a place in Taiga- Tsagaan Nuur town, Khuvsgul province, Northern Mongolia 2023.

There is an ancient tradition both mysterious and practical in the winter of northern Mongolia. Blowing the long wooden horn which produces a low, melancholy sound by the oldest man of the reindeer tribe. Some say it used to scare evil spirits away during the dark winter days, though the horn was also used as a means of communication between reindeer people. The colourful and meaningful festival of dance, music and reindeer, abruptly awakens the sleepy alpine village of Tsagaannuur every winter.

March is often thought to mark the end of winter and the beginning of spring. It is rather a mild winter compared with January (the coldest month in Mongolia) with many winter festivals taking place in Mongolia such as:

“Silver Reed of Western Mongolia- The Khovd Ice festival” or “Mungulug Shagshuurga 21-22 January”
“Ice Festival 1-4 March” in Khuvsgul province,
“Camel Festival 4-5 March” in South Gobi,
“Reindeer Festival 5-6 March” in Khuvsgul Province
Small “Eagle Festival 4-5 March” near Ulaanbaatar city.
