DMD MONGOLIE

Habitat has not changed since ancient times; the yurt is the culmination of the nomadic house, mountable in less than an hour and weighing only in the 200 kg. Its circular shape allows it to withstand the most violent winds despite the absence of fixed points on the ground. With only two openings (a door, a smoke hole), without a window, it retains very well the heat during the freezing winters. And when the summer comes, you lift your skirts ... that is to say that one wraps its layers of felt upwards, leaving visible and in the air the base of the dwelling.

Mongolia is a land of heroes, myths and legends. Who does not know the Huns, the Tatars, Genghis Khan, the Golden Horde, the Yuan dynasty of the Middle Kingdom? Who can not imagine the immensity of the steppes, the valor of a people of nomads perpetuating a way of life and ancestral traditions within a time when the world seems everywhere else to run in pursuit of Time?

Are you a traveler? Do you like discovering a whole new culture and experiencing it in your life? So, a few days to spend with a family of breeders will remain unforgettable forever.
