Hustai National Park
Хустайн нуруу
The most successful reintroduction of wild Przewalski's horses anywhere in the world, with horse herds, red deer and marmots often seen across grassy hills.
Hustai National Park lies about 100 kilometers southwest of Ulaanbaatar. Since the 1990s, Przewalski's horses (takhi in Mongolian), which had become extinct in the wild, have been brought back from European zoos, and several hundred now breed here. The park has a visitor center and ger camps. You can ride a jeep across the grassland and hills in search of the herds, and you may also see red deer, gazelles and birds of prey. The horses usually come down to the valleys to drink in the early morning and at dusk. The park works well as a day trip or an overnight stay. An entrance fee applies, and you should keep a respectful distance from the horses.
