Overview

It is true that the Khustai National Park is the home to wild horses called Przewalski horses or Takhi, in Mongolian. However, it is not true Przewalski horses are the only attraction of the Park. Because the Park occupies such a vast territory, there is ample opportunity for various outdoor activities such as Takhiand bird watching, hiking, horse or camel riding, photo shooting and visiting ancient artifacts there.

Add contrast to your trip by visiting the Terelj National Park, where nature is articulated in a great combination of sheer granite mountains, open fields, and river. Visit the tallest horseman-statue in the world, dedicated to Mongolian legendary emperor – Chinggis or Genghis Khan is also included in your convenience.

More adventure will continue the next day, when we will bring you to the 13th Century park, set up with unique clan camps bringing the exotic environment and the feeling of the 13th century. One thing: please do keep in mind the road, to your whole day of the adventure of horse and camel riding, tasting of the traditional food and drinks, experiencing the local culture and the customs and more, will be a bit bumpy.

Good to know

  • The best time to make this trip
    May to September is the best season, with the peak season in July for the Naadam Festival. July and August are also the wettest months of the year but be assured, our climate is such that you will still have many sunny days at this time. The best time to visit the Gobi is June or September.
     
  • Accommodation:
    We believe that comfortable, welcoming accommodation is vital to the enjoyment of your trip. You will be staying in a standard 3-4 star hotel in Ulaanbaatar and a tourist ger camp (traditional dwelling) with currency (220V), shower and other useful services (2 to 4 people per ger) in the countryside. All accommodation offered by Discover Mongolia is personally checked by our staff to ensure high standards.
     
  • ​Meals:
    In Ulaanbaatar, you will be dining at fine European and Asian cuisine restaurants. Mutton, beef, rice, and noodles form the basis of the Mongolian diet, so your meals will be based around this. However, the trail rations may include vegetables, eggs, peanut butter, cheese and sometimes yak! On some days there will be lunchboxes from tourist camps. It is good food and our experience has been that guests are happy with this arrangement. Please let us know in advance if you are a vegetarian. Alcohol is not provided on the trip but tourists are free to bring their own.
     
  • ​Transport:
    Discover Mongolia use the highest level, latest model, air-conditioned private vans or 4WD vehicles for the maximum comfort on your touring days. A day's drive in the countryside will be approx 200-250km.
     
  • ​Personal things to bring with you:
    Warm thin layers of clothing are the best such as bring a waterproof jacket, and a hat and headscarf to protect you from the sun and winds. Don't forget insect repellent, sun cream, lip-gloss, water purifying tablets and first aid kit (medicine for headache, cold, diarrhea, runny nose; bandages; any medicine prescribed for you ). All your camera equipment.
