• Afternoon: Participate in everyday nomadic life: learn about livestock herding, try your hand at dairy production, or simply relax and soak in the surrounding landscapes.

Takhi – The Wild Horse of Mongolia

The takhi, also known as Przewalski’s horse (Equus ferus przewalskii), is a rare and endangered subspecies of wild horse (Equus ferus) native to the vast steppes of Central Asia. Unlike most so-called “wild” horses today—such as the American Mustang or the Australian Brumby, which are actually feral descendants of domesticated horses—the takhi has never been domesticated. It remains the only truly wild horse in the world. At one time, the species had become extinct in the wild; in Mongolia, the last wild takhi was seen in 1966. Thanks to international conservation efforts and a reintroduction program, they now roam once again in their native habitat, particularly within Hustai National Park. Takhi live in small, permanent family groups composed of: One adult stallion, one to three mares and their common offspring. Young horses typically stay with the family until they become independent at around two or three years of age. After leaving, bachelor stallions—and sometimes older stallions—form separate bachelor groups. Several family groups can also come together, forming larger herds that move across the steppe.

Herders Park: Experience nomadic life—train and lasso horses, ride camels, yaks, and horses, learn pastoral skills, and see how dairy products and leather goods were traditionally made.

Shaman Park: In keeping with ancient customs, Shamans from different clans across Mongolia gather under the vast blue sky around a sacred bonfire to perform rituals honoring Mother Nature and the gods. These ceremonies aim for a shared spiritual purpose and offer visitors a rare glimpse into Mongolia’s living shamanic traditions. There are several types of shamanic worship rituals, including those devoted to the 33 Heavens, sacred cairns (ovoo), and the bonfire ceremony, which can be arranged by reservation. These are extensive yet deeply magical events that leave a lasting impression. Visitors may also explore the gers of different shaman clans and, if they wish, have their fortune told by a practicing shaman.

Chinggis Khaan Equestrian Statue
Located 54 km east of Ulaanbaatar at Tsonjin Boldog, the legendary site where Genghis Khan is said to have found a golden whip, this monumental statue has become one of Mongolia’s most iconic landmarks. Erected in 2008, the 40-meter (131 ft) tall stainless-steel statue depicts Chinggis Khaan on horseback and is the largest equestrian statue in the world.The statue stands atop the Chinggis Khaan Statue Complex, a 10-meter-high visitor center supported by 36 columns representing Mongolia’s 36 khans, from Genghis to Ligden Khan. Symbolically, the statue faces east toward his birthplace. Inside the two-story base, visitors can view a replica of the legendary golden whip, explore exhibitions, enjoy traditional Mongolian cuisine, and learn about Chinggis Khaan’s history and legacy. An elevator takes guests partway up inside the horse; from there, a passage leads through its chest and neck to a viewing platform on the horse’s head, offering spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding steppe and mountains.
