Route Ulaanbaatar Khustai National Park Ulaanbaatar 280km
From €240

Description

Discover the natural reserve of Khustai that houses Przewalski's horses (takhi). The takhi are direct descendants of prehistoric horses and the last ones that man failed to domesticate. Enjoy a rare meeting with the last wild horses of Mongolia and watch them in their natural environment. And people of Central Asia have become NOMADS due to the harsh and extreme climate of their habitat. Nomads seek out the best pastures and water sources for their livestock and migrate accordingly. Climate, landscape, and daily challenges developed them as tough, resilient, and self-sufficient nomads during centuries of struggle. Nomads created a rich and diverse cultural heritage unique to the world.
