TOUR & FESTIVAL OVERVIEW
Naadam festival is the only one of its kind; it is a sophisticated and eloquent expression of nomadic culture, the honored celebration of national independence, and an outstanding combination of arts and sports. Even the festival's core – three manly sports – wrestling, horse racing, and archery, embrace many art elements, such as singing, dancing, and performing.
​
Naadam festival is held in the most enjoyable month of the most pleasant season in the country. Therefore, everyone takes the opportunity and enjoys the festival in a diverse schedule, such as traveling to the countryside, camping out, and gathering in their closest herds. Nomadic Mongolians have known when to throw parties. Everyone is so looking forward to Naadam that after each Naadam, Naadamers moan that the next Naadam is too long to wait.
