The festival will host a number of events, including a camel caravan, a mini-Naadam festival, and a horse riding contest, tea ceremony, folk art shows, and acrobat performances. Also, as part of the festival, a tour to the Gurvan Tsenkher Cave in Mankhansoum, a concert of Mongolian epic and Limbe, a Mongolian national flute and “Tea Road” second academic conference will be hosted. 
As tea culture gained popularity in Europe and Russia, caravan paths through Mongolia were the shortest way to transport tea. This route, called ‘The tea Road’ was the second most important caravan network after the Silk Road in terms of transport revenue.
