Traditional Mongolian culture is deeply rooted in nomadic lifestyles, characterized by herding livestock such as yaks, sheep, and horses. The Mongolian ger, a portable tent, serves as the primary dwelling, reflecting the adaptability of the people to their vast, open landscapes. Mongolian cuisine often features meat and dairy products, with dishes like buuz (steamed dumplings) and airag (fermented mare's milk) being popular. Traditional music, often accompanied by the unique throat singing known as khöömei, plays a significant role in cultural expression, celebrating the connection to nature and the nomadic way of life.
