What is a Mongolian Yurt?
Yurts, also known as gers, are a circular structures that have been used by nomadic tribes in central Asia for thousands of years. Even today, yurts are lived in for many months at a time, and are deconstructed & transported when it is time to move.
The structure of a traditional Mongolian yurt is made from all natural materials, namely, timber, sinew and horse hair ropes. At the peak of the roof is the the crown.
