2.Terelj national park transport /Best price tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 135 reviews · 8 hours · from $36Best value

This $36 day trip pairs Ulaanbaatar landmarks with Terelj National Park. A Mongolian driver takes you to the Winter Palace, Zaisan Hill, Turtle Rock, Chinggis Khaan Statue, and Aryabal Temple. Expect a full schedule, car transport, separate entry fees, and possible language help.

“Overall the trip was really good. You get to see places that are a bit of a must see when you come to Mongolia. The driver was very nice, but only knows a few words of English, so you have to use a translator to communicate unless you can speak Mongolian. The prices are reasonable - it cost a total of about 30,000 Mongolian tugriks. There are two reasons why I don't give full out on the stars. One reason is the driving, the roads are not the best (of course they can't do anything about that) but he drove a little too violently and aggressively taken the road's condition…”

8.Day tour to Hustai national park

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 22 reviews · 1 day · from $90

You’ll leave your hotel at 8 am with a Mongolian driver for a private day trip to Hustai National Park, returning around 6 pm. Look for Przewalski’s horses, deer, marmots, birds, and wildflowers. Lunch, the $20 park fee, and a guide are extra. Up to three people can share the trip cost.

“My driver and guide, Chinba, was very friendly, gentle, and polite, and his English was fluent, so communication was easy. The park is huge, and wild animals are only visible from a distance—they look tiny. We saw marmots, deers, and the legendary Przewalski’s horses, but the horses stay far from the main road, so we could only spot them through binoculars. I really wish we had set out earlier that day; maybe then we could have seen them up close. Still, the scenery was beautiful, and it’s worth exploring if you have the chance.”

Leave Ulaanbaatar with an English-speaking guide such as Bachi or Bashi and drive to Hustai National Park, home of reintroduced Przewalski’s horses. You’ll have lunch, look for wildlife, hike, and visit a local food stop. Early departures in summer can improve your chances of seeing horses.

“This was a real Mongolian experience. It almost got cancelled, because of a lack of bookings for that day, but Bachi still took me to Hustai NP, as I really wanted to see the wild horses and couldn’t reschedule. We left before the sunrise, to catch a glimpse of the horses before the temperature started raising and they would escape the heat in the woods. I got lucky and spotted a group of adult horses and a foal. On the way back, around 10,30 am, it seemed like the whole Mongolia was on the road. People deserted Ulaanbataar to attend the local Nadaam festivities. It was trully a sight to…”
