Gers

Gers are simply but colourfully furnished, with brightly painted furniture and decorated roof beams.

The felt walls are supported by a wooden framework that can be collapsed quickly and packed onto yak wagons or vans.

Some gers have their own generators for electric lighting and television.

Life here is almost entirely sustainable.
