Staying in a ger: what to expect

Sample article. Replace with your own text in the admin.

A ger is a round felt tent with a wooden frame. Inside there is a stove in the centre, beds along the walls and two pillars that hold up the roof ring.

Camps and family stays

Tourist ger camps have beds, a stove and shared washrooms. Some have private bathrooms. A family stay is simpler and more personal.

A few customs

Call out before you come near a herder's ger so the dog is held. Step over the threshold instead of on it. Walk clockwise inside and avoid leaning on the central pillars. Take tea or food with your right hand, or both hands.
