I want to see the nomads
Many people who decide to travel to Mongolia want to see the nomads .
Many people come here for the purpose of living a full-fledged nomad.
Mobile dwellings (gers) are indispensable for nomads who continue to live in different places, but since mobile dwellings are made up of many years of experience and wisdom, if you can actually see them. In addition to the materials used, you can also see how they can be quickly disassembled and assembled and moved to the next destination.
Let’s go to the Naadam Festival
If you want to deepen your understanding of Mongolia, it is the summer festival “Naadam Festival” .
It is a festival held on an anniversary that has been cherished for a long time in Mongolia, and since it is a national event , nomads who usually live in different places gather on the day.
It is a festival that not only local nomads but also tourists aiming to travel abroad can easily see, and multiple competitions are held.
Sumo is probably what Japanese people feel close to and get excited about.
Sumo wrestling if you go to the Naadam Festival
The reason why many sumo wrestlers who are active in Japan are from Mongolia is related to the fact that sumo wrestlers are actively practiced in Mongolia, but what is different from the case in Japan is that It seems that the sumo wrestler does not exist but is performed on the lawn .
Furthermore, it is a rule that you can win or lose when your head, elbows, knees or back touch the lawn, so it is refreshing to watch while being aware of the rules unique to Mongolia. The wrestlers who supported it may later play an active role in Japan .
As with sumo, there is a competition that uses a bow as a competition that makes the watching side sweat, and the appearance of more than 10 athletes holding a bow toward the target in a row is a masterpiece. It is also exotic to wear colorful national costumes such as blue and red and work hard at the competition.
