Visiting the Mongolia House by Mongolia NOC during the Games presents a unique and enriching opportunity to experience the essence of Mongolian nomadic culture and its deep connection with the environment. As a nation of traditional nomads, our way of life not only benefits our people but also harmonizes with nature. Driven by extreme weather conditions, our nomadic lifestyle ensures that we leave no trace behind when we move. Once we relocate, the grass at our previous site regrows, restoring the land to its natural state.
Our Mongolia House, the “Ger,” epitomizes this philosophy. We have brought this traditional structure from Mongolia and set it up without causing any harm to the environment. After the Games, we will dismantle it and return it to our homeland, leaving no permanent footprint. By visiting our Ger, you will immerse yourself in the Mongolian lifestyle and way of living, witnessing traditional performances, games, and sports. We welcome all guests to experience the vastness of the Mongolian steppe and create unforgettable moments under the eternal blue sky of Mongolia.
