NaadamThousands are expected to arrive in Mongolia to witness this year’s Naadam Festival. The official opening ceremony will take place on July 11, but activities are planned from the 10th to 14th.

The Naadam Festival has its roots in the nomad wedding assemblies and hunting extravaganzas of the Mongol army. The opening ceremony features marches and music from soldiers, monks and athletes. In the Naadam Stadium the three sporting passions of Mongolians, horse racing, wrestling and archery, are played out over two days.

Also, Mongolian crafts and other products are on display, as well as a variety of food and drinks.
