World Nomad Games 2026

World Nomad Games 2026 — Kyrgyzstan & the Silk Road 🇰🇬🐎

After 8 years, Kyrgyzstan is hosting the World Nomad Games again — and these are only the 6th Games ever. It’s a rare chance to witness the most epic nomadic traditions, in the wildest country on Earth.

Nomadic nations from across the world come together for a week of ancient traditions: horseback wrestling and goat polo, eagle hunting, archery, music, dancing, and rituals that have survived for centuries. It will be the craziest thing you see in 2026

Getting there and enjoying it properly takes time, energy, and a whole load of planning - remote locations, little English, scattered info...

The World Nomad Games aren’t a tourist show. They’re living culture. Meeting the nomads, sharing tea in a yurt, feeling the pulse of traditions that go back centuries — that’s what you’re really here for.

We’ve done the hard work. You just turn up. Real travel, no fluff.
