Khustai National Park
Khustai National Park protects the rolling steppe and river valleys where the takhi, the world's last truly wild horse, was reintroduced after vanishing from the wild entirely. Beyond the herds grazing along the Tuul River, the park's grasslands and low mountains also shelter red deer, wolves, marmots and a scattering of ancient stone monuments.

Frequently asked questions about Khustai National Park
How do I get to Khustai National Park?
There is no airport, rail line or regular public bus serving the park directly: travellers reach it by road from Ulaanbaatar, a drive of roughly 100 km that takes around 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on traffic and conditions, with the final few kilometres on an unpaved track. Most visitors arrange a private car, taxi or organised tour from the capital, since independent public transport options are limited.
How many days should I spend in Khustai National Park?
A single day trip from Ulaanbaatar is enough to see the horses and visit the small museum, but an overnight stay in a ger camp allows for an evening and early morning wildlife walk, when the takhi are most active.
