OUR STORY
 
​The 22 Tent Company was founded by Marcus in response to a growing desire for more ethical, eco-friendly, sustainable accommodation options which do not skimp on the luxuries. Marcus came from a music and movie production background, having obtained his degree in Music Composition and worked as a Production Assistant. While attending a summer of music festivals, Marcus saw a high demand for luxury camping. He believed he could provide eco-friendly accommodation for large numbers of people without losing one’s creature comforts.  This concept could be expanded into more areas such as private events and the corporate industry and so was born The 22 Tent Company.

22 Tents always needed a signature piece which defined the company and made them stand out from the rest. It had to represent their core beliefs and what they were trying to achieve through the formation of this company; and travelling through Mongolia they found it. 
The traditional Mongolian Yurt - used by the nomadic people of Mongolia for over 1500 years and first recorded to be used as a dwelling as early as 400BC in Greece.
This portable tent was sustainable, using sheep’s wool and local pine from one of the largest stretches of untouched woodland in the world. It was comfortable, warm in the bitter cold of the Mongolian winter, where temperatures drop as low as -30C and cool in the summer months, as if it was air-conditioned. 

22 Tents set out to find a company in Mongolia which were making these yurts and in Ulaanbaatar they found it. Khaadiin Ger was a company that had been making these traditional dwellings for generations and also made hand carved furniture for some of the most important people in Mongolia, such as president Khaltmaagiin Battulga. 

The 22 Tent Company has grown to be much more than a glamping company. They have expanded into providing unique spaces for yoga retreats and meditation getaways, as well as spiritual weekends and health events.
