Gers, nomadic felt-tents, are one of the most tangible pieces of culture that bridge ancient Mongolia and modern society. Join us in touring the ger-making studio owned and operated by Amgalan Purevjal and his dedicated team. Amgalan is a steward of Uyanga-style gers, distinguished by their intricate details, yet unfortunately witnessing a decline of their traditional craftsmanship. Learn all about these gers, from their first cuts of wood, to the intricate painting processes, to the seamless puzzle-like assembly perfected by centuries of nomadism. Try your hand at painting or assembling/disassembling this portable dwelling. Appreciate the cultural and spiritual significance of the design, placement, and history of the ger during this tour!
