This structure, located in the Ok Kush (White Bird) complex, is recognized as the largest non-collapsible yurt in the world with a diameter of 40.5 meters.
Information about this achievement was distributed by the Tourism Committee under the Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection and Climate Change of Uzbekistan, TASS writes.
The unique yurt, 22 meters high, was built by Orol Agro.
The Ok Kush complex is spread over an area of 50 hectares and includes an exhibition of various types of yurts, including examples from Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Bashkortostan.
