Over the decades, the unique cultural tradition and historical narratives of the ‘Nomads of Central Asia’ have attracted travellers, tourists, excursionists, backpackers, and others. The World Nomad Games was conceptualised to provide an essential platform to celebrate and maintain the distinctive Nomadic customs of the region under increasing threat from globalisation and modernisation.
A part of the UNESCO World Heritage List, the World Nomad Games was first organised in 2014 on the shores of Lake Issyk Kul in Cholpon Ata in Kyrgyzstan. Cholpon Ata remained the home to the 2016 and 2018 editions wherein, 1200 athletes from 62 countries and 2000 athletes from 82 countries participated in the respective tournaments. However, in 2022, the 4th edition was shifted to Iznik in Turkey with 3000 athletes from 82 countries participating in 13 sports.
The 5th edition of the World Nomad Games took place at Astana City in Kazakhstan from 8th to 13th September 2024. India, too, participated in the World Nomad Games. India returned with 1 gold medal and 5 bronze medals. Pincky Balhara, 2018 Asian Games silver medallist, won gold in the Women’s -57kg category in Kurash.
