Khustai National Park

Tuv province, Altanbulag soum

Overview

Welcome to the Khustai National Park, a unique region located on the border of the Altanbulag, Argalant, and Bayankhangai districts in Central Province, Mongolia. Here, you will discover the stunning Khustai Range, a series of mountains that run from the northeast to the southwest, forming the southern edge of the forest that pushes into the steppe zone. The region's sand basin hills have created a remarkable formation, making it a must-see destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
 
Located just 80 kilometers west of Ulaanbaatar, the Khustai National Park covers a vast area that stretches from southwest to northeast, with an average height of 1500-1700 meters. The highest point, Hoshot Uul, stands tall at 1842 meters, while the lowest point, Tariat Spring, is 1190 meters high. This region is also the southwestern branch of the Khenti mountain range and has more than 10 freshwater streams, including Bayan, Ehen-Us, Altganat, Moilt, Urty Am, and Shuvuun Am.
 
The Khustai National Park is abundant with wildlife and vegetation, with over 2080 hectares of birch forest on the top and back of the mountain and almost 450 types of plants. The region is also home to various animals such as red deer, antelope, wild boar, and numerous rodents. There are also 126 species of birds, making it a bird-watching paradise.
 
The Khustai camp in the Khustai Mountains region is open all year round, with an exhibition hall that provides visitors with information about the Khustai region, showcasing documentaries about the implementation of the wildebeest reintroduction project. Since 1992, the joint Mongolian-Dutch Takhi project has been implemented in this region of the Khustai mountain range, with the takhi being considered the great ancestor of the Mongolian horse. In the early 19th century, the Russian scientist N.M. Prezhevalsky discovered the horse, which was then registered as Prezhevalsky's horse.
 
Get ready to immerse yourself in the beauty and tranquility of Khustai National Park, a breathtaking destination that will leave you in awe.
