Every year in July, Mongolia receives a great number of visitors from all over the world. According to research, Mongolian Naadam Festival has been highlighted to attract both local and international tourists. Naadam is known to be a festival that portrays and expresses the nomadic culture of the Mongolians. It is among the most honored celebration which combines arts and sports. The following are interesting facts one needs to know before preparing for a trip to attend the festival.
The commemorations include the Olympic games of the Mongols. They are enjoyable celebrations held annually on eleventh to thirteenth of July. It is mostly held at the central stadium and Khul Doloon which are the main stadiums in the country capital. However, you can also choose to go and celebrate with other locals in other parts of Mongolia where similar events are held as well.
It is necessary to note that there are two main men games held. Horse-racing, archery and men-wrestling. However, there are other games which include arts, tactics and tricks who you will still enjoy watching. Ethic and cultural performances like singing, dancing, wearing traditional costumes. Also, the Mongolians revere some parts of livestock bones when playing and for religious rites.
National wrestling has a combination of cultural and traditional techniques. They engage in eagle dance and long love songs which have preserved the Mongolia historical development for thousands of years. There are many wrestlers expected to participate who compete in tournaments. For any individual to be in this group, strong discipline, morals and high respect levels for the elders and audience are required.
The role of horses in Mongolia has for a long time been valued in the people daily and national lives. The Mongolians believe that every child born in Mongolia must learn how to ride a horse. At this time, children sing special songs before and after a horse race to charge the spirits.
Mongolian archery is another activity the Mongolians engage in. It includes the use of bows and arrows. Bows and arrows were used in ancient times when hunting until there was the introduction of more sophisticated weapons. Engaging in such competitions helps to preserve their culture and measures the archer patience, concentration, strength and focus when handling the bow and arrow.
When you are a visitor, and it is your first time to attend the ceremony, the local Naadam festival is very attractive. Reason being, it is authentic, not dramatic and allows one to experience first-hand information from the locals. Local people travel to the provinces to participate in the festivals, to sell food, and toys. Therefore, making sure everyone interests are catered for in all ways.
However, there is a need for knowing the best times to book hotels and tickets. July is a peak season of tourists. The prices of accommodation and tickets are likely to double when you wait until July. One needs to book at least six months earlier to enable you to have a chance of paying less and getting the best accommodations. Additionally, you will get reliable guides.
