mongolian blue trail to spiritual shaman tour・15.0 days

Shamanism is the oldest religious practice in Mongolia and centers on beliefs and rituals associated with a shaman, a man, or a woman regarded as having access to the “spirit world”. Shamanism is faith without books. All teaching and instruction have been given orally, passed from shaman to shaman over the centuries, and its traditions learned by heart. Mongolian shamans enter an ecstatic trance state in which the shaman is empowered to engage with the spirits I order to protect and heal members of the community, to guide souls, and cure illnesses. The shaman might wear a headdress to resemble a bird, with the tail of a pheasant and the body costume of a fish. Drums are used to help the shaman enter the trance-like state, as chanting begins and the shaman “transcends “into another world while the body dances, swirls, or totters with jerky movements. Shamanism went underground during the former communist period but has been revived recently. HIGHLIGHTS Lake Khovsgol National Park Darkhad Ethnic shaman Shamans and Reindeer herding people Adventure riding through Taiga wilderness Khorgo-Terkhiin Tsagaan Lake National Park Erdene Zuu Monastery in Kharkhorin, the ancient capital of the Mongol Empire
