Siam Society is holding a study trip to Mongolia, a land of endless steppes, rugged mountains and untouched wilderness, from July 4-13. As the birthplace of Genghis Khan, the legendary founder of the Mongol Empire, Mongolia's rich past is filled with stories of conquest, unity and cultural exchange. Today, Genghis Khan's legacy is deeply woven into the nation's identity, reflected in its proud traditions and historic landmarks. This annual celebration of Mongolia's heritage features the legendary "Three Manly Games" --wrestling, horse racing and archery -- that trace their origins back to the era of Genghis Khan. From the exhilarating Naadam celebrations to the tranquil beauty of the steppes, this trip weaves together history, culture, and nature, offering a deep connection to Mongolia's enduring nomadic spirit.
