The Naadam Festival is indeed the highlight of our trip. Ancient kings created it for military purposes in the old days when they needed their warriors trained all the time. Said kings came across the idea of having a regional and state competition for Horse racing, Archery, and Wrestling. Since then the Naadam Festival is celebrated with these three traditional tournaments.
Join us for our 13-days 12-night Naadam Festival tour in 2021 with a fantastic festival in a small local town. A small town that allows you to experience the authentic culture of Mongolia.
