General presentation
Khustai National Park
A reintroduced hilly steppes and Przewalski horses make up a reserve accessible from Ulaanbaatar.
The discovery of Khustai National Park is based around Khustain Nuruu National Park, Khustai Information Centre and Ungut Vestiges. The stay thus alternates between the countryside, natural areas and mountain reliefs, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature park
Khustain Nuruu National Park
The reserve protects steppes, hills and a reintroduced population of Takhi horses. The observation is better sooner or later, when the animals descend to the water. The weather, altitude and condition of the tracks must be checked before departure.
Culture and heritage
Khustai Information Centre
The centre explains the scientific program that allowed the return of the Przewalski horse. This introduction avoids reducing the visit to a simple photographic research. A slow visit allows to go beyond the only points of view best known.
Place indismissible
Vestiges d'Ungut
Ancient stones and tombs remind of the human occupation of these steppes. The site is discreet and makes sense with a guide who knows local archaeology. A slow visit allows to go beyond the only points of view best known.
