The Nadaam festival, is one of Mongolias most important festivals. It takes place all around Mongolia. Some of the bigger ones have fixed yearly dates in the July 10th-12th. The smaller ones can take place before or after this.
This year, I went to Kharkhorin ( Karakorum) in the Övörkhangai province in Central Mongolia for Naadaam. A spectacle featuring lots of colourful people watching, food, music and dance. And of course horseracing, Mongolian wrestling and archery.
