Hustai National Park, National park in Töv Province, Mongolia
Hustai National Park is a protected area in Töv Province with rolling hills, open grasslands, and the Tuul River running through a valley. The park is home to wolves, deer, gazelles, and other steppe animals living in their natural habitat.
The park was established in 1993 to protect a horse species that had disappeared from the wild by 1969. An international breeding program later brought these animals back to this landscape.
The park shows how modern conservation and traditional Mongolian ways of caring for the land work together, something visitors can see in how the space is managed and used. The landscape reflects a balance between human activities and wildlife.
The park is located about 100 km west of Ulaanbaatar and is best reached by private vehicle or organized tour. Visitors can stay in traditional ger camps and should bring warm clothing since temperatures vary greatly between seasons.
The park is home to around 350 of these special horses, the last remaining truly wild horse species that humans never domesticated. These animals are genetically distinct from all domestic horse breeds and are therefore extremely valuable for scientific study.
