The Mongolian Ger, also known as Yurt, is a cherished symbol of the country's nomadic heritage. Despite the modernization and urbanization of Mongolia, Gers remain an integral part of the cultural fabric, with many people embracing this traditional way of living both in cities and rural areas. The Ger is a marvel of design, offering spacious and comfortable accommodations for its occupants.

Constructed with a wooden lattice frame and insulated with layers of felt, Gers provide warmth and shelter in all seasons, making them ideal for the nomadic lifestyle. Staying in a Ger during your journey in Mongolia offers a genuine connection to the country's age-old traditions and a chance to experience the nomadic lifestyle firsthand.

Naadam, the pinnacle of Mongolian festivals, holds a special place in our cultural heritage. Its significance is recognized worldwide, as evidenced by its inclusion in UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritages of Humanity list in 2010. The roots of Naadam trace back to the ancient Hun Empire around 209 BC, when this grand celebration was already embraced among tribes. This splendid festival centers around the Three Games of Men: archery, wrestling, and horse racing, although women actively participate in archery and horse racing as well. Naadam embodies the spirit of unity, competition, and tradition, passing down through generations for centuries. The State Naadam takes place in Ulaanbaatar on the 11th and 12th of July each year, while provincial centers and villages celebrate their Naadams before the grand State festival. The joyous festivities of Naadam bring people together, showcasing the cultural pride and athletic prowess of Mongolia to the world. It's a time of camaraderie, excitement, and the celebration of our vibrant heritage.
