Nomads Traditional Dwelling
- Mongolian Ger
Ger is traditional dwelling that nomads of Mongolia
have lived in since time immemorial. Ger is easily assembled
and disassembled, and its components can be loaded on
a couple of camels or on a yak cart. It is made of a wooden
framework covered by large pieces of felt. A decorative
cloth covering is laid over the felt. The ropes which
go around the ger, called bus (belts), are usually made
of braided horse mane and tail hair. The wooden framework
consists of collapsible walls hana, topped by poles (uni)
radiating from a central round shaped window called "toono".
Gers are well known for providing a wonderful balance
between nature and comfort.
Our gers is decorated beautifully with traditional colorful
patterns and furnished with soft and cozy beds and other
furnitures. Each ger is furnished with beds, the same
number of blankets, bedding sheets, pillows, small towels,
bath towels, a table, stools, a cloth hanger, candles
and matches, thermos, glasses, trash bin etc.
