That is particularly Zaya lives there. She is admittedly of Mongolian descent, but grew up in the US When visiting the Tsaatan people-they fell in love. She continued. From a Western point of view, she has a hard life without luxury. She lives in a tent in an area where the temperature sometimes drops to 40 degrees below zero. Her livelihood?

Tour
Floortje is not Zaya’s first foreign visitor, as more travelers to visit Mongolia. That according to the hostess is a thorny issue. Theoretically, the villagers could earn money from selling figurines and reindeer leather stuff, but it does not always.
