Although there are many Naadam's throughout Mongolia in the summer months, this is the biggest and most prestigious event by far. The competitions are in three events – horse racing, archery and, all the locals' favourite, wrestling. The spectacle is so much more than that. The opening ceremony includes riders dressed as Chinggis Khan and his warriors, and the prize giving is a time for the full range of emotions. Outside the stadium, there's plenty of interest too. You'll probably head out for a look at some stage. Try the local foods on offer, and see what all those picnicking families are really about. Don't forget to return in time for the dramatic wrestling finals. The crowds will surely let you know when.
