Traditional Mongolian culture is deeply rooted in nomadic lifestyles, with many people historically living in portable dwellings called gers or yurts. These structures are designed to be easily assembled and disassembled, reflecting the mobility of herding communities. Livestock, such as sheep, goats, and horses, play a crucial role in daily life, providing food, clothing, and transportation. Mongolian culture is also rich in oral traditions, including epic poetry and throat singing, known as khöömei. Festivals like Naadam celebrate traditional sports such as wrestling, horse racing, and archery, showcasing the skills and heritage of the Mongolian people.
