he Camel Festival is one of the biggest winter events in Mongolia that has been organized by our “Ten thousand camel – camel tour association” since 1997. The festival includes amazing activities such as camel parade, camel polo, camel race, nice-couple competition, Mongolian traditional ankle-bone shooting, camel relay competition, painting and poetry competition called “Camel – My friend”, performance by children from “Altai Snowcock” children club, fair of camel’s milk, dairy products, camel wool and camel woolen products, etc.

The main aim of the Camel Festival is to protect and preserve Bactrian camel population, which has been steadily declining over the past decades.
