Mongolia's Naadam Festival

We arrived in Ulaan Bator late on July 10, exhausted after travelling for 22 hours from Tashkent to Seoul and onward. The annula Naadam Festival started the next day so we had to hit the ground running. The festival celebrates the three 'manly' sports of wresting, horse racing and archery.

I haven't got much time now to describe everything we saw. But here are a few photos to give you a bit of the flavour...
