Festival tours

Mongolia hosts a wide variety of traditional festivals throughout the year, showcasing its rich nomadic culture and heritage. The most famous is the Naadam Festival in Mongolia, held annually in mid-July, featuring the “Three Manly Sports” of Mongolian wrestling, horse racing, and archery—ancient skills of nomadic steppe warriors.

Another unique cultural highlight is the Eagle Festival in western Mongolia, where Kazakh hunters demonstrate the centuries-old tradition of hunting with golden eagles. Winter events include the Ice Festival at Lake Khuvsgul, Mongolia’s largest freshwater lake, celebrated when it freezes solid, and the Camel Festival in the Gobi Desert, honoring the desert nomads and their Bactrian camels.
