The World Nomad Games are returning to their homeland — Kyrgyzstan!

Dear friends! The homeland of the World Nomad Games is Kyrgyzstan. In 2014, the first World Nomad Games took place here — a grand and vibrant event that brings together the cultures and traditions of nomads from around the world. Since then, the games have been held in various countries — in Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Saudi Arabia. But we are especially pleased that these unique competitions are returning this year to their native land — Kyrgyzstan!

We sincerely hope that this important event will remain forever in our homeland and continue to develop. The World Nomad Games will be held in September 2026 in Bishkek and at Lake Issyk-Kul — places where nature and culture merge.

Guests will have the opportunity to see a variety of traditional nomadic games, such as horse racing, archery, stone throwing, wrestling, and other exciting competitions that reflect the richness and skill of nomadic culture. There will also be cultural and historical shows, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of nomadic traditions and experience the living history of Kyrgyzstan.

Currently, tours across Kyrgyzstan with visits to the national nomad games are available. You have a unique chance to enjoy the breathtaking nature of our country and witness thrilling competitions that embody the spirit and richness of nomadic culture.
