The traditions and culture of Mongolia date back to before Genghis Khan in the 1200s. Even today half of the 2.4 million Mongolians are nomads, people of nature. Americans can remember their basic connection with the earth when exposed to Mongolians. In Mongolia Shamanism exists side by side with Buddhism.
Shamans connect with the spirit of the earth through chanting and playing their drums.
Tour participants will see a performance of shamanistic practices at the Fine Arts Museum in Ulaan Baatar.
