Munkh Tenger Blue Sky Ger Camp
Visit Site
2 NIGHTS
Location: Kara Korum
The Blue Sky Ger Camp near Erdene Zhu features electricity, hot water and Internet access. Most Mongolian ger camps are small, rustic encampments of a number of round yurt-like dwellings. Modern gers may be covered with canvas rather than the traditional felted wool. The walls of a ger are typically made of sections of birch or willow lattice formed into a circle and secured with leather straps. In the center of the ceiling is a hole which allows smoke to escape and fresh air and light to enter. The bottom of the framework’s covering can be raised one foot off the ground in the summertime to allow better ventilation. Gers include wood-framed beds and dressers, and a wood-burning stove. Shower/toilet facilities are located in a separate building.
