Our yurts are based on traditional Kyrgyz gers, which use steam shaped roof poles and a light steamed wheel for the crown (known as the 'eye to the heavens').

They are perfectly suited to the climate on the steppes of Asia. When insulated with felt, they are warm in -40c, and cool and airy in scorching summer sun. The winds can whip across the steppes but yurts are stable and strong, and have an aerodynamic profile which 'sheds' the wind.

Yurts (or ger, which means 'camping ground' and 'home') have been a primary dwelling of Mongolian people for more than 1000 years, and are still home to about 50% of Mongolia.
