We had a chance to visit Hustai National Park during the spring time, which enables the visitors to observe the wild life at best, as the animals are roaming in big groups as it is not hot yet, so that animals usually start being in smaller groups of 3-4.
Interestingly, the rangers and guides of the Hustai National Park are all speaking perfect English. We were provided with binoculars to have a closer experience of all the beauty of the wildlife of the Mongolian steppe and mountains.
Our journey started at 10.30AM and it took us just over an hour to reach to our destination located about 95 km far from Ulaanbaatar city. At our destination friendly staff of the park greeted us and offered snacks before our ride through the park.
Hustai National Park covers 50.6 hectares of land which is home to:
- 459 species of vascular plants,
- 85 species of lichens,
- 90 species of moss,
