As I was the only guest, the tour guide adapted the schedule to make sure that I got the most out of the trip. I asked about a whole day's horse ride, and Batmaa booked this for the following day, and it was a wonderful experience. Also, she helped me to book a taxi ride to the airport at a very good price. Thank you so much, Batmaa and Battogtokh, for a memorable trip.”

10.Day tour to Hustai national park

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 22 reviews · 1 day · from $90

You’ll leave your hotel at 8 am with a Mongolian driver for Hustai National Park, returning around 6 pm. Look for Przewalski horses, deer, marmots, birds, and flowers, usually with binoculars. Lunch and the $20 park entrance fee are extra, and the private group can include up to three people.

“My driver and guide, Chinba, was very friendly, gentle, and polite, and his English was fluent, so communication was easy. The park is huge, and wild animals are only visible from a distance—they look tiny. We saw marmots, deers, and the legendary Przewalski’s horses, but the horses stay far from the main road, so we could only spot them through binoculars. I really wish we had set out earlier that day; maybe then we could have seen them up close. Still, the scenery was beautiful, and it’s worth exploring if you have the chance.”

“I had a wonderful day traveling to Hustai Park with Baatu. He was an excellent guide who was very dedicated to finding the often elusive horses and he did not disappoint! At the very end of the day he climbed a mountain, found them and had us walk up to see them. Really wonderful. People who take this tour should be aware that there is a lot of off-roading involved. I was very happy with that but some might not like it. We also had a very enjoyable lunch at a local Ger. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants a day trip outside of UB in…”
