A night in a ger
Share this story

Experience one of Mongolia’s most distinctive traditions by staying in a ger, the traditional round dwelling of Mongolian herder families. Designed for life on the move, the ger is simple, practical and remarkably comfortable, with a warm interior centred around a wood-burning stove.
Wake to open landscapes, share meals and stories around the stove, and experience the rhythm of life on the steppe. Depending on the location, your ger stay may be at a family-run camp or a more remote setting, offering a genuine connection to Mongolia’s landscapes and way of life.
For many travellers, sleeping beneath the traditional roof of a ger becomes one of the most memorable parts of their journey through Mongolia.
