All of our 2025 small group journeys include performances of Mongolian music. Throat singing, Mongolia's must iconic musical form, is a travel favorite.

Huumii, Mongolian throat singing, originated in the district of Chandamani in southwestern Mongolia's Altai Mountains. Blue Silk Travel is proud to showcase the legendary singers of this region. In this video, throat singing legend R. Davaajav explains how he introduced throat singing to the Western world.

If a traveler hears just one piece of throat singing in Mongolia, it will probably be "Praise of the Altai Mountains." In this video, D. Tserendavaa, another of Chandmani's renowned throat singers, explains how he arranged and popularized this classic.
