Tour Highlights: The Main Festival is Naadam, which has been organised for centuries, consists of three Mongolian traditional sports, archery, horse-racing, and wrestling. Nowadays it is held on July 11 to July 13 in the honour of the anniversaries of the National Democratic Revolution and foundation of the Great Mongol State. Another very popular activity called Shagaa is the "flicking" of sheep ankle bones at a target several feet away, using a flicking motion of the finger to send the small bone flying at targets and trying to knock the target bones off the platform. We would be pleased to have you join us!.
Block your seats. Names due at 90 days!. For more information, please visit us at Naadam Festival Mongolia Package Tours
