Travelers are expected to treat the steppe, mountains, and sacred natural sites with care: do not litter, avoid damaging plants or disturbing wildlife, and ask before entering or circling around
ovoo cairns or other revered places. Many Mongolians still follow shamanic and Buddhist-influenced customs that see certain hills, springs, and trees as spiritually significant, so quiet, respectful behavior is appreciated and offerings may be left at ovoo during local rituals.
