Naadam Festival & Meditation in Amarbayasgalant
WIth our 12 days tour, you can enjoy the festival Naadam and then spend a few days in Amarbayasgalant for our Meditation Program and enjoy the calm and serenity of the monastery. Mongolia's Naadam Festival, a traditional holiday and the largest celebration in the whole country, draws visitors from around the world for sports tournaments and cultural activities. The 3-day festival features traditional Mongolian sports like wrestling, horse racing, and archery. The festival’s opening ceremony is the highlight with many shows and artistic performances. Almost everyone dresses in their most beautiful and traditional outfits known as ‘Deel’, which are created in rich colors. Even though the main event is held in Ulaanbaatar, it is celebrated all over the country. The Amarbayasgalant Monastery is the second largest monastery in Mongolia and is one of the few monasteries in Mongolia that has remained intact despite religious purges during the 1930s. The beauty, decorations, and construction of the monastery have made it one of the most magnificent architectural monuments in Mongolia. With our 11 days program, embark with us on a peaceful and relaxing meditating journey in a 300 years old Buddhist Monastery. On the last day of the tour, you will witness the sacred Tsam Mask Dance being organized every year by the monks of Amarbayasgalant. This is a truly unique experience that very few had the chance to take part in.
Khuvsgul Lake Ice Festival & Tsaatan Tour
Each year in March, residents of Mongolia’s Khövsgöl Lake area celebrate the Khövsgöl Ice Festival with horse-drawn sleighs, elaborate ice sculptures, traditional food and vibrant competitions including ice skating, ice sumo wrestling, tug of war, ice ger building and dog sledding – all on the dark blue ice of the frozen lake. During the Festival, the lake after becomes a frozen playground for locals and visitors alike. For the occasion, participants dress up in their own colourful, traditional costumes that represent the country’s different regions where they hail from. Here you can witness the traditions and lifestyles of Mongolian reindeer herders who descend to the lake from their taiga homeland, while local shamans perform their rituals with a fire-burning ceremony. With our 10 days tour, you will enjoy a full experience of the Khuvsgul Lake and Northern region of Mongolia. First with the Ice Festival and its festivities, continuing by the Tsaatan communities and their reindeers.
