The 90,000 hectare Hustai National Park, set 60 miles southwest of Ulaanbaatar, is home to the
World's only naturally surviving wild horse. The Przewalski horse (or takhi in Mongolian) has been successfully reintroduced into the wild and has a light yellow coat and a short, stiff black mane. Each horse is approximately 250cm long, 146cm tall and weighs on average 300kg. Przewalski horses are the only wild horse to survive in modern times. The species were returned to Mongolia from world zoos and reserves within Hustai National Park in 100 km west of Ulaanbaatar. Takhi, like zebra and the extinct tarpan, are a wild species and have never been domesticated or ridden. Hustain Nuruu has good vegetation, springs, birch forest and rocks which are suitable for many wild animals including 46 species of mammals and 172 species of birds. The best time of the day for game viewing is the early morning and early evening. Brief Itinerary Day 1. Arrival in UB. Drive to Hustai National Park Day 2. Hiking in Hustai National Park.
