While the wind-swept tundra of central Mongolia isn\u2019t the typical setting for a festival, it might just be the most impressive. Each year, in a celebration of culture and tradition, athletes take to the arena in Ulaanbaatar (which boasts phenomenal natural scenery, in case you were wondering) to compete in &#8220;the three games of men&#8221;. Also, touching the sweat of the winning wrestler or jockey is said to be good luck.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the biggest national holiday and festival, there\u2019ll be extravagant costume parades. Traditional music performances (throat singing included). Plenty of dancing and, of course, tasty dishes you won\u2019t find elsewhere in the world.
