YURTS
In the vast open grasslands of Mongolia, many families live in unique homes called yurts. A yurt is a round tent made of wood and thick fabric. These homes are specially designed to suit the nomadic lifestyle of Mongolian families, who often move from one place to another in search of better grazing land for their animals.
One of the most remarkable features of a yurt is that it can be easily taken apart, transported, and reassembled wherever needed. Though simple in appearance from the outside, the inside of a yurt is warm, colourful, and beautifully decorated with traditional patterns. The design helps to keep the interior cozy during the cold winters and protect the family from strong winds that sweep across the steppes.
For hundreds of years, yurts have provided comfort and shelter to Mongolian families. They are not just homes but a symbol of Mongolia’s rich culture, heritage, and deep connection with nature.
