Inclusions

Itinerary

Soak in the lively atmosphere as wrestlers prepare and the crowd’s excitement builds. Discover how Bökh dates back over 1,000 years, originating in the military training of Chinggis Khaan’s army and later becoming a central part of the Naadam festival. Watch thrilling matches where wrestlers aim to force opponents to touch the ground with anything other than their feet. Experience the ceremonial eagle dances between rounds, feeling the crowd’s energy and witnessing Mongolia’s living cultural heritage in action.

About Ulaanbaatar

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia's capital on the Tuul River, is a high, cold city of Buddhist monasteries, Soviet squares and nomadic traditions.

Ulaanbaatar lies at around 1,350 metres in a valley below Bogd Khan mountain, and is among the coldest capitals in the world. It grew from a movable monastery town, and Gandan Monastery, still a working Buddhist centre, holds a tall gilded statue of Avalokiteshvara. Sükhbaatar Square, the central plaza, is dominated by the Government Palace with a large seated statue of Chinggis Khan.

Top-ranked sights in Ulaanbaatar: Genghis Khan Statue Complex (Chinggis Khaan Statue Complex), Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, Zaisan Memorial.
