National Parks & Reserves — Close to Ulaanbaatar

$/Person

Overview

Discover Mongolia’s wild side in five unforgettable nights — ride with nomads, search for the rare Takhi, walk icy gorges in the Gobi-steppe, and feel the pulse of Terelj’s dramatic rockscapes — all within easy reach of Ulaanbaatar.

  • Travelers who want a compact, high-value nature experience close to the capital — ideal for photographers, families, short-stay travelers or those adding a nature escape to a Mongolia city visit.

Three complementary protected areas in one trip: Khustai National Park (home of the reintroduced Przewalski’s horse), Gun-Galuut Nature Reserve (compact biodiversity hotspot), and Gorkhi-Terelj National Park (iconic rock formations and nomadic scenery).
