Naadam Festival is Mongolian major holiday and a wonderful time to
experience the culture and people of this amazing land. The 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 before the real fun begins! In the Naadam
Stadium, the three sporting passions of Mongolians, horse racing,
wrestling and archery, are played out over 2 days.
But if you don’t want to watch sports all the time, there’s plenty to see and do outside – food, music, crafts or just watching people and culture. This is the best time to see the Mongolian people and soak up the party atmosphere!
Mongolians consider that there are 33 different Gobi , where sandy desert occupies only 3 percent of the total territory. South Gobi is located 553 km from Ulaanbaatar, average altitude of 1406 meters above sea level. In reality, most part of the Gobi Desert is a land of steppes and it is the home for camel breeders rich with wildlife and vegetation. Khongor- Mongolian largest sand dune reaching a height of 800-meter in some highest areas.
Bayanzag, the red cliffs were on the sea bottom in ancient times and still have petrified bones and eggs of dinosaurs from 60 million years ago. Of the twelve species of predatory dinosaurs, eight of them were found in Mongolia – the most famous discovery being made by Roy Chapman Andrews in the 1920s who dug up the remains of two dinosaurs who had fought each other to death. Our tour takes you to the cliffs and to see the remains found so far – an amazing experience to tell your friends back home.
