Mongolian yurts
Mongolian yurts, called "gers" locally, are traditional portable, round tents designed for nomadic living. Constructed with a wooden frame covered by felt or fabric, they are engineered for durability and insulation, suitable for Mongolia’s harsh climate. The circular shape provides strength against wind, while the central support and collapsible walls allow easy assembly and disassembly. Inside, yurts feature a central chimney hole and designated areas for sleeping, cooking, and storage. Their lightweight, portable design embodies nomadic resilience, enabling families to move seasonally while maintaining comfort and cultural tradition.
