Yurts

Traditionally the Kyrgyz were nomadic shepherds who lived in felt tents known as yurts and migrated seasonally with all their flocks. The yurt with its entire household was transported by horses or camels. The walls of yurt and the floor were covered with felt rugs (shyrdak) and felt carpets (koshma). The walls were decorated with reedy rugs (chij) that protected a yurt from wind and could be displaced easily. Since that time the size, the shape and the yurt inside have not been changed. The yurts are still used by  shepherds in summer and for all year round  it is used for traditional events.
