Highlights and Information
Festival period: February 6 to 8, 2026 (3 days)
Venue: Dalanzadgad city, South Gobi
Purpose: The purpose of the Camel Festival is to increase the number of camels, protect them, and increase products made from camel milk and hair. It also helps develop winter tourism and support the lives of local nomads. The number of camels decreases every year, and changes in the natural environment are one reason. In the past nomads moved by camel, but recently they have come to use cars and other machines. More nomads are also using camels as food in winter. The Camel Festival has been held since 1997 to increase the number of camels.
It has become one of the big winter festivals of Mongolia. Besides the festival, you can also sightsee in the South Gobi. This is the vast Gobi Desert spreading across southern Mongolia, where the winter Bactrian camel festival is held.
About 100 km northwest of Dalanzadgad, the capital of South Gobi Province and the home of the film "The Story of the Weeping Camel"*. The "Camel Festival" is held again this year in Bulgan village, the venue of this annual celebration. It was originally held to protect the declining camels, and visitors from Mongolia and abroad increase year by year to see this "festival of camels, by camels, for camels". Watch and enjoy many competitions such as camel races and camel polo, with the camels so closely tied to the people of the Gobi Desert.
