Building of a yurt in stages, it takes anything from 2 hours to half a day. On the top, sticks are put into holes on the tunduk. On the bottom, they are tied with ropes to the base. Sometimes the yurts are very basic and have grass floors and minimal decoration and no power, sometimes they are fully carpeted and ornate and have generator electricity.
