CULTURAL EVENT
1 February, 2025
The game involves two teams of local horseback riders in traditional dress who compete against each other, armed with wooden spears. The objective is to hit an opponent with a spear while riding at full speed.
Legend has it that the blood spilled at this annual battle of strength and skill serves to fertilize the land, a good omen for the crops that are to come. These days however, spears are blunted to minimize the risk of serious injury. NIHI has designed a schedule that will allow our guests to experience the event in the safest and most enriching way possible.
