NADAAM FESTIVAL

Nadaam is a world-famous festival celebrating Mongolia's Independence. So what makes Nadaam so special? This is a great opportunity to witness Mongolia's enduring long-distance horse race, tradional wrestling, archery, and knuckle-bone tournaments. Annual Nadaam Festival lasts for up to 3 days

Once a year Ulaanbaatar, the Mongolian capital, holds its breath as the best fighters, horse trainers and archers in the country gather from every corner of Mongolia to compete for the most prestigious titles for ** Naadam Festival **.
