What is nomadic life really like beyond the Instagram photos?
Cold mornings. Yak dung fires. No privacy. And some of the most nourishing food and heartfelt hospitality we’ve ever experienced.
In this episode of The Travel Brats, we share the raw, unfiltered truth about living with a remote nomadic family — from culture shock moments to daily survival rhythms that revolve entirely around the sun, the land, and the animals.
🏕️ Living in Yurts & Learning the Nomadic Rhythm
We stayed in traditional yurts, where fires burn day and night (yes… fueled by yak dung), and every single part of the animal is honored and used. It’s sustainable, practical, and deeply rooted in tradition.
Nomadic life isn’t slow travel in the romantic sense. It’s constant movement, constant work, and constant awareness.
There’s no “clocking out.” Survival depends on teamwork, herding, cooking, tending fires, and adapting to the land.
From:
Early mornings before sunrise
Open-air bathroom situations in freezing temperatures
Communal meals using every part of the yak
And the overwhelming generosity shown to travelers
This experience reshaped how we view culture, sustainability, and what it truly means to live in rhythm with nature.
