Tumen Ekh

Tumen Ekh is a distinctive traditional felt tent used by the Mongolian nomadic herders, especially in the Gobi Desert. Known as a "ger" in Mongolian, it is designed to be portable, durable, and weather-resistant. The structure consists of a collapsible wooden frame covered with layers of felt made from sheep wool, providing insulation against cold temperatures. Its circular shape offers stability in strong winds. Tumen Ekh is central to Mongolian culture, serving as a mobile home that reflects the nomadic lifestyle and allowing for easy movement across the plains.
