The tour begins with a drive to the east of Ulaanbaatar to visit the Chinggis Khaan Equestrian Statue Complex, located about 55 km from the city. This impressive 40-meter stainless-steel statue is the world’s largest equestrian monument and depicts Chinggis Khaan proudly on horseback.
Upon arrival, explore the museum inside the base, which showcases artefacts from the Mongol Empire, traditional costumes, and historical exhibits. You may also see the remarkable giant Mongolian boot, a unique cultural display. Take the elevator (or stairs) up to the viewing deck on the horse’s head for a panoramic view of the surrounding steppe, an excellent location for photography.
After the visit, continue your journey to Hustai National Park. Enjoy the changing landscapes as you travel westward, keep an eye out for Mongolia’s iconic raptors soaring above the open steppe.
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by the beautiful scenery of the park. Take a moment to enjoy the fresh air, rolling hills, and peaceful surroundings.
Visit the Information Center: Begin your exploration at the park’s Information Center. Here, you will learn about the re-introduction of the Takhi (Przewalski’s) wild horses, a successful conservation program that began in 1992. Discover the history, challenges, and achievements of this important effort to save the world’s last true wild horse.
Wild Horse Watching: After gaining deeper insight into the Takhi and the park’s wildlife, start driving into the protected area to observe the wild horses in their natural habitat. Spend time watching these magnificent animals as they graze and move freely across the steppe.
Optional: Drive deeper into the park to see the Ungut Complex, an important 6th–8th century Turkic memorial site featuring over 30 ancient human-shaped stone statues, animal carvings, and sacred stone arrangements. It is considered one of the largest and most significant memorial complexes in Central Asia. Continue driving through the park for wild horse watching, where the Takhi can often be observed grazing in their natural habitat. You may also spot marmots, red deer, and various raptors. Enjoy a short hike in the surrounding hills, or return to your ger camp and enjoy dinner. Stay overnight in the ger camp.

Adventure Optional Extras
Single room supplement
Plant an additional 15 trees for your adventure
Carbon Compensation is not the perfect solution, and it is important to first reduce our carbon emissions as much as we can, yet trees remain an excellent natural technology to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to slow global warming.
For every client and guide who attends a YellowWood Adventure, we donate £30 to our partner charity WeForest to plant 15 trees to (over) compensate for the carbon footprint of the tour.
We also invite our clients to match this with an optional additional £30 for another 15 trees to be planted to help compensate for the carbon footprint of their international flights.
WeForest run many tree planting and tree maintenance projects such as this seedling nursery in the Amhara region of Ethiopia, the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil and many other projects in other countries including Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania & India.

Grading
To help you choose the right adventure for you, we have given each itinerary a grading that relates to the level of Walking / Trekking you will experience during the trip. This grading can be found on the Yellow map on the adventure page of the website.
All of our trips involve a level of general activity so are designed for people who are in good health, enjoy the outdoors, and have a taste for adventure and some level of fitness. As will be clear from our destinations, the climate (and altitude) may be different to that which you are used to, so please take this into consideration when choosing the most suitable holiday.
Please read our Adventure Itinerary & Essential Information for more information and don't hesitate to contact us if you would like to chat through whether you have found a suitable adventure for you.

You will generally be walking at low altitude (below 3000m) but may walk at altitudes up to 4000m. The amount of ascent could be up to 800m in a day but will frequently be less. You may walk on consecutive days.
Ensure you are aware of the weather conditions likely in the destination you are visiting and have suitable clothing for this adventure.
Grades 7-9: Challenging
You need to have a good level of fitness with previous experience of trekking. Extra training before your trip will ensure that you get the most out of your adventure. Areas will be remote and terrain uneven.
