How to Build a Mongolian Ger
What is a Mongolian Ger?
Maybe you’re wondering, what is a ger? A ger is a round, portable home made from a wooden frame covered with felt, often made from sheep wool. This simple design helps the ger stay warm in winter and cool in summer, making it perfect for Mongolia's harsh climate.
Why Stay in a Ger?
Staying in a ger gives a unique chance to experience Mongolia’s nomadic lifestyle. Mongolians move with their herds up to three times a year, and the ger is built for easy mobility. Staying in a ger camp lets you wake up to beautiful landscapes, enjoy traditional food, and try activities like horseback riding or archery. It’s an authentic way to connect with Mongolia’s history and culture.
