Why Mongolia is a great destination for photographers?

By Nathalie Daoust, traveler of New Milestone Tours

During the month I spend traveling through Mongolia with New Milestone Tours, I was impressed by the diversity and richness of the scenes, its magical atmospheres, history and heritage, culture and traditions. I wanted to discover the real nomadic lifestyle outside the tourist trail and wanted to live their everyday life. This is exactly what New Milestone Tours was able to organize and it was a life changing experience. Since then I have been back developing my next photographic exhibition in this remarkable country.

Here are a few tips to do in Mongolia:

- Look at the sky and never miss a sunset.
- The most beautiful “blue hour” that I have ever seen. (the period after the sunset)
- Follow the rhythm of nature, the seasons, the animals.
- Don’t take much with you, but just enough to be warm at night.
- Try everything that is offered to you at least once. (My favourite foods have been the ones that are the least tempting to eat)

I would also recommend to live directly with the families and to take local transport everywhere instead of having a driver. Try to travel during the Nadaam festival and visit local mini Naadam festivals instead of the main one in the city, which are for the local villagers and are amazing for photos and very welcoming.

New Milestone Tours will take you out of the touristic path, get you in touch with the authentic Mongolian way of living. You can trust they are going to cater for your needs and desires.

Here are a few amazing things about Mongolia I loved most:

- Suitable for a wide range of photographic genres: landscapes, animals, culture, traditions, documentary, artistic (poetic) and diversity of their landscapes, the colours of their sky

- The most welcoming people.

- Their relationship with nature and animals and their philosophy of life and respect toward nature is inspirational.
