Camel race
Except using camels for riding and pulling carts, Mongols have a tradition to race them. The camel race is organized during the feast that celebrated when the number of camels increased to thousands or celebrating the products from the camel and during other celebrations. The camel breeders mostly race gelding and yearling camels. The yearling camel’s race within around eight kilometres and the gelding-camels around ten kilometres. In recent years Gobi aimags, the main land of camel flocks, have revived the ancient traditional game with camels as camel (buluu) polo. This is an indigenous cultural phenomenon which considered as a contribution to the development of tourist attraction during winter times.
