PMO India Mongolia - Naadam 2013 - Program
Naadam festival, (11-13 July 2013), is the happiest time in Mongolia. It is also the peak of the tourist season. In Mongolian Naadam is known as "eriin gurvan naadam" (эрийн гурван наадам), meaning - the 3 games of men. The 3 games are horse racing, archery and Mongolian wrestling. Some call it the Nomadic Olympic Games. These games have existed for centuries and incorporate warrior skills.
Video - news item in English describing the Mongolian Naadam wrestling.
This year (2013) in UB there will be 512 wrestlers competing in 10 rounds, 420 of them hold a state title. Horses in six age categories will be dashing across the Khui Doloon Khudag horse racing fields.
All national events will take place in the city (Ulan Bator), except for the horse racing, which will take place in the Khui Doloon Khudag horse racing fields (west of Ulaanbaatar on the main road leading to Lun see map)
