Experience the fascinating nomadic culture of Mongolia, enjoying the summer Naadam festival with horse racing, wrestling and archery competitions. Naadam, literally means “games” and takes place from 11th to 13th July every year. It’s believed to be celebrated since the early Middle Ages, being already held during Chinggis Khaan times, presumably with a different format than it’s now.
Amid the communist era in Kazakhstan, many Kazakhs sought refuge in Mongolia, establishing themselves in Bayan Ulgii, a region designated for the Kazakhs of Mongolia today. The Altaic Kazakhs, or Altai-Kazakhs, residing in Mongolia's Bayan-Ölgii Province, continue the age-old tradition of eagle hunting.
