Editorial Review: Product Description: VISITING TODAY'S MONGOLIA - Mongolia has natural beauty and a deep, rich culture. Many of its pastoral people come together each July for horse and archery competitions: the colorful Naadam Festival! Mongolia welcomes you with unspoiled beauty, rich pageantry and vivid history. Its Buddhist heritage is now being revived after decades of suppression, and Amarbavasgalant monastery is an interesting destination. Almost half of the Mongolians live in the countryside, following their herds from one pasture to another. All summer they are busy tending their animals, and making cheese and yogurt. Once a year, in July, the whole country is involved in competitions that determine its best horses, archers and wrestlers, during the colorful Naadam festivals. Visitors are welcome!
