Naadam in Arkhangai

Naadam is the annual summer festival featuring the 'Three Manly Sports' of wrestling, archery and horse racing.  Naadam festivals take place in all major cities, and many smaller towns throughout the summertime.  Naadam in Arkhangai is usually scheduled on July 10th and 11th each year.   It is an exceptional Naadam to visit as it is big enough to feature all the events, and has a fantastic opening ceremony with all the pageantry of this traditional Mongolian celebration.
