National Holiday of Mongolia

From 11 to 13 July Mongolia celebrates its most important holiday – Naadam Festival.

The National Festival is celebrated all over the country every year and involves competition in three traditional games: horseracing, wrestling and archery.

Rituals of Naadam date back to the times of Genghis Khan. In 2010 this tradition has been inscribed on UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list.

Happy Naadam!
