Can one have electricity or running water in a yurt? 

 Everything is possible! The concept of a Mongolian yurt is very flexible and easy to adapt to your needs, as long as you respect safety standards of construction! 

 

Can you tell me a little about the traditions and symbolic of the yurt?
 

-  In a 5 walls yurt (the most traditional in Mongolia) there are 9x9 =81 roof sticks. 9 is a holy number for Mongolian Buddhists.

-  You should enter the yurt with your right foot and do not hit the door frame with your body (would bring bad luck inside the yurt). Should you do that, go back out an come back in…

-  Orange, the most traditional Mongolian yurt colour,  is symbolising the sun shining over the grass land

-  In Mongolia it is considered impolite to knock on a yurt’s door. You are always welcome in a yurt! To warn of your approach, one usually shouts “attach the dogs!”.

-  The central posts (bagaanas) connect the sky to the ground

-  The door usually faces south (helps when you travel with no road sign sin Mongolia!)
 
-  The yurt is usually not anchored, not to arm the ground
