Mongolian Ger Print E-mail
 

The nomads have developed a circular felt covered dwelling - the ger (or yurt in Turkish language), adapted to the difficult conditions of their daily life (cold, wind, sun) and easy to be moved as can be raised and dismantled in 30 to 60 minutes. The gers have beautiful carved and decorated doors, and south oriented. When entering into a herder's ger, airag and cheese are handed and blown snuff bottles are exchanged.
