Hustai National Park TourAfter a two hour drive west from Ulaanbaatar, you will arrive at Hustain Huruu Natural Reserve. In this for¬est-steppe zone, the takhi, or Przew¬alski horse—the world's last truly wild horse, named after Russian Colonel Nikolai Przewalski (the first Euro¬pean to come across the horse)—has been reintroduced. The takhi disap¬peared from the Gobi Desert in the 1960s, but a small captive population of the horses remained in European zoos. In 1995, a group of Przewalki horses were brought to Mongolia from zoos in the Netherlands and Switzerland, and the newly wild population is thriving. Hiking and horseback ridinglilt tours can be arranged in the Hustain Nuruu area, where those who want to keep close contact with the takhi can find a ger camp at the entrance of the large-wired-fence which protects the wild horses.
