A traditional yurt (from the Turkic languages) or ger (Mongolian) is a portable, round tent covered with skins or felt and used as a dwelling by nomads in the steppes of Central Asia.

I can only imagine how peaceful a night's sleep would be in one of those things!

I crawled out of my warm, cosy yurt to see the sun was up and I caught a glimpse of nomadic life, beside Son Kul lake in Kyrgyzstan. A large number of horses, goats and sheep were being herded around the hillside, whilst mares were being milked, presumably to be used for the mildly alcoholic drink, kumys! These were nomad yurts ... with a bike and some sort of exercise equipment!
