How Much Do Yurts Cost in 2025? Prices For Yurts
Whether you’re looking to rent a yurt for a weekend getaway, build one as a permanent home, or simply explore the costs involved, this guide will help you understand the various factors that influence yurt pricing, from traditional models to luxury glamping yurts and modern designs.
Traditional Yurt Prices
Traditional Mongolian Yurt is the most common type of yurt people know around the world. The materials include: wooden lattice, poles, door, and center crown with felt, ropes, and additional layers for cover.
Yurts Made to Order
We at Silk Road Yurts in fact sell “made in Mongolia” yurts/gers that are made just for you, from scratch. Prices range from $3000 to $10,000 depending on size.
Local Market Yurts
If you book a flight to Mongolia, you can visit the local markets and compare pricing.
Generally, pricing for smaller sized gers start at around $1000.
But be warned, most of these yurts don’t come with proper contact, paperwork, certification, and quality assurance.
Depending on the material and processing, and also the country, you may not be able to get it through import customs due to regulations.
But if you know what you are doing and know the local laws, it is doable.
Used Yurts
The cheapest option is to buy a used yurt locally. Depending on the condition, smaller sized yurts cost around $500 in Mongolia (we highly recommend that you don’t try to import used yurts from Mongolia), but yurts that are already imported in countries such as EU or the U.S may cost around $3500, excluding local shipping costs.
Central Asian Yurt Prices
In addition to Mongolian yurts, the fellow cousins of the Mongols, the Kyrgyz and Kazakhs also offer their own unique designs.
Kazakh Yurts Costs
If you specifically want a Kazakh yurt, it would be cost efficient to buy from Kyrgyzstan and request the design to be made in a Kazakh manner, since Kazakhstan mainly imports from Kyrgyzstan.
But if you do decide to buy a yurt from Kazakhstan, generally it’s 4,000,000 Tenge or around $8000-$9000.
Kyrgyz Yurts Costs
Kyrgyz yurts in Kyrgyzstan are significantly cheaper despite being almost identical to Kazakh yurts in design and material.
Prices can range from $2000 – $3000. It’s still slightly more expensive than generic Mongolian yurts.
Glamping Yurt Prices
If you need a glamping yurt that will fit inside the trunk of your car, then these options might be a better fit for you.

How Much Glamping Yurts Costs
Glamping tents on average cost $300 – $600, and sometimes more depending on what kind of yurt tent you are looking for. While glamping yurts are very affordable, when you factor in the price you have to pay for land, it can cost thousands of dollars.

So these glamping/camping yurts are better suited for camping and outdoors.
How Much Traditional Yurts Costs
Traditional yurts, often made from felt or natural materials, typically cost $3,000 to $15,000, depending on size and craftsmanship. Authentic Mongolian or Central Asian yurts fall within this range.
Well established companies in Europe or USA sell standard sized traditional yurts for at least $7000 excluding shipping. Silk Road Yurts on the other hand, our standard sized yurts start at $3000.
How Much Modern Yurts Costs
Modern yurts are designed with contemporary materials, offering more durability and sometimes higher insulation. These can cost $8,000 to $25,000, with some even more expensive if outfitted with advanced materials and design options.
How Much Pacific Yurts Costs
Pacific Yurts, one of the popular manufacturers, typically range from $7,000 to $20,000 for their standard models. Customization options, such as insulation, skylights, or solar panels, can drive up the price.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs for yurts can vary based on the size, weight, and destination. Typically, yurt shipping can range from $500 to $5,000 depending on the distance and whether the yurt is being shipped domestically or internationally.
Larger yurts or those with custom features may have higher shipping costs due to their weight and packaging requirements.
Costs for Renting a Yurt
Renting a yurt for short-term stays can vary widely depending on location, size, and amenities. Prices generally range from $75 to $400 per night, with luxury glamping yurts on the higher end. Longer-term rental rates may offer discounts.
Yur rentals in Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, or Kazakhstan can be less than $50 per night, so if you are visiting East/Central Asia, be sure to stay in one.
Costs for Building a Yurt
Building a yurt from scratch or a kit typically ranges from $10,000 to $30,000. This includes the cost of the yurt structure, labor, and basic infrastructure such as platforms, utilities, and permits.
IT IS NOT cheaper to build your own yurt in most developed countries because of pricing disparity in Europe and America. Even if you exclude the labor costs of hiring carpenters, you spend almost the same amount of money in the thousands buying the necessary equipment and supplies.
Upkeep & Maintenance Costs
Maintenance costs for yurts are generally low compared to traditional homes. Regular upkeep, such as checking for wear and tear on the fabric, cleaning, and resealing, may cost around $200 to $500 per year.
New felt / insulation layer including shipping costs can be around $500-$700, but this is needed every few years, so not every yaer.
