Hustai National Park — Attraction in Töv

Went in May 2019.... didn't get to explore most of it due to a tight traveling schedule, but based on what I saw, one could easily spend all day here. The driving trail loops are either 10-20 miles or like 40-50 miles... something like that (they will give you a nice color map when you register/pay), however you're moving at 5-15mph due to the terrain so that's why it takes all day to travel inside. The local price was like $5000 T, while the foreigner price was like $25,000 T ($10 USD at this time). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TRAVELING HERE WITH AN SUV, some parts were definitely hard to pass with a car.... the road does turn a little sandy while going there, don't let go of the gas...power on with some speed or you may get stuck. Don't go here if it rained or snowed in the prior 2 days...roads would probably be a mess.

The dirt road from the main highway to the entrance of the national park is okay... typical Mongolian dirt road, just follow the most worn path and you'll get there... or try to stay left if a million paths appear, though I think almost all the paths end up here anyway. Once you arrive, park in the cement parking lot, walk left into the restaurant building and there will be someone there to pay the entrance fee, then go back to the car and you can continue driving into the park. The dirt road inside the national park is the real challenge.... far less traveled so it can get sporty, if I had to do it again, definitely take an SUV. Also, almost nothing to buy in the park so bring your own drinks and food (there is a restaurant in the park entrance). I actually saw more animals driving into the park than the actual park itself (I was only able to drive 2-3 miles into it then turned around so maybe they are deeper into the park). Staff is very nice, speak English.

There is some type of camp to spend the night... didn't check it out, they were building the gers, but they seem to be maintained OK. There is a proper restroom below the restaurant with running water, toilets and even showers which is a luxury outside of UB. This would be a good destination if you like animals, specially horses, sheeps and cows. TIP: Don't touch them or come close to them, not allowed...

A highlight of Hustai National Park is undoubtedly the opportunity to see Przewalski’s horses in their natural habitat.

We stayed nearby the Hustai National Park (at the nearby non-profit Mongolian Bankhar Dog Project, also worth a visit if you can!) for about a week, and were lucky enough to get to drive through it with a wonderful fellow who worked as a wildlife biologist for the park for seven years - so we basically got a personal tour and saw some amazing wildlife, including the takhi but also all kinds of birds, wildflowers, even a toad, lizards, pica, deer, gazelle... truly a beautiful and varied landscape! This park is a wonderful place to visit, we were especially fortunate to see so much of it with someone who knows the...
