Yurts are portable tents traditionally used by nomadic people in Central Asia. They have been used for thousands of years and are still used today as temporary or permanent homes, as well as for ceremonial and recreational purposes. The word “yurt” comes from the Turkic language and is thought to have originated in the ancient Central Asian steppes. The first yurts were made from animal skins stretched over wooden frames, and were used as portable homes for nomadic people who lived in the harsh desert and steppe environments. These early yurts provided warmth and shelter from the elements, as well as a place to store and transport the nomads’ belongings.
As the nomadic people of Central Asia began to settle down and establish permanent communities, yurts continued to be used as homes, but they also became associated with wealth and status. Yurts were often decorated with elaborate designs, just like ours at Hidden Valley and were used for ceremonial purposes, such as wedding and funeral ceremonies. In modern times, yurts have gained popularity around the world as a type of alternative accommodation. They are often used as holiday accommodation. Today, our yurts are made from a variety of materials, including canvas, nylon, and other synthetic fabrics, and are equipped with modern amenities such as electricity, and wood burners. However, they still retain their traditional circular shape and strong connection to the nomadic cultures of Central Asia.
Yurts offer a unique and exotic holiday experience that combines the comforts of modern living with the rustic charm of traditional tents. Our yurts are spacious and comfortable, with high ceilings and plenty of natural light, and can be equipped with a variety of amenities such as electricity, heating, and plumbing.
