Traditional Gers While in the countryside, you will sleep in gers, the traditional felt tents of nomadic herders. Made of a latticed wood structure covered with layers of felt and canvas, each ger is heated by a wood stove with a smokestack through a hole in the center of the roof and furnished with beautifully painted wood-framed beds. This is the traditional home of herdsmen who must move with their herds and therefore need an easily transportable abode, but one that will withstand the harsh winters. The ger camps offer an authentic experience of Mongolian culture and provide the unique opportunity to visit areas which otherwise lack tourist accommodations. Western style shower/toilet facilities are located in a central building and meals are served in a camp restaurant.

The lodge funds and organizes nature conservation clubs for children in local secondary schools, and serves as a base for scientific research and wildlife monitoring in the fragile Gobi eco-system
