MONGOLIA NAADAM FESTIVAL AND MUD ROADS

MONGOLIA NAADAM FESTIVAL AND MUD ROADS
We were lucky to be in Mongolia during the Naadam Festival. Three sporting passions of Mongolians, horse racing, wrestling and archery, are played out over 2 days in festivals all over the country.

Wrestling is definitely the most interesting and entertaining of the three sports and every Mongolian understands it and follows it with passion.

Legend has it that wrestlers once wore full jackets, until a woman entered a competition and won. To deter any similar future incidents, the jacket style was modified and now has an open front.

As for the Mongolian roads, the further away from the small villages we got the worse the roads became. The scenery however, made every bump, water hole and river crossing worth every bit of it!
