🇲🇳National level activities
🏟️National Day Nadam: Ulaanbaatar Central Stadium and surrounding racecourses. Mongolia's biggest festival showcases the "three arts of men" - wrestling, horse racing, and archery. At the opening ceremony, people in traditional costumes formed a grand parade and the athletes' entry ceremony was solemn and warm. During the competition, wrestlers demonstrated their strength and skills, young riders galloped on their horses, and archers shot their arrows without missing a single target. There were also folk song and dance performances and food sales on site, making it very lively.
🏞️Regional level activities
🦅Altai Falcon Festival: Bayan-Ülgii Province. Kazakh herdsmen demonstrated ancient falconry skills with well-trained golden eagles. There were falconry training shows, falconry hunting demonstrations, as well as traditional competitions such as horseback archery and sheep catching, allowing people to experience the unique culture of the Kazakh people.
❄️Khuvsgul Ice and Snow Festival: Khuvsgul Lake. The lake is frozen, turning into an ice and snow paradise. There are ice sculpture competitions, with crystal clear ice sculptures shining in the sun; there are also sports such as skating, skiing, ice hockey, as well as fun experiences such as reindeer-drawn sleighs and snowmobiles, to experience the winter scenery of the north.
🫎Shaman Festival: Erdenet City. Shamans hold mysterious sacrificial ceremonies to pray for blessings, cure diseases, and exorcise evil spirits. They also perform shamanic dances, chant ancient spells, and showcase the mysterious and unique shamanic culture.
🏟️Local Nadam: Held from time to time in various places, usually in summer. The scale is smaller than the National Day Nadam, but it has more local characteristics. In addition to the "Three Arts of Men", there are also local specialty competitions such as camel races, yak races, etc. Participate in them and feel the strong local atmosphere.
