    Housty National Park is wonderful!

    I was looking for a place to stay, not just a day trip, because I definitely wanted to see wildlife in Fushita National Park, and I found one. In the end, participating in this tour was the right decision. There was a meeting place, but they came to pick me up at a hotel in the city when I asked them to. Pickup at 8:40. After that, I went to the supermarket and bought the necessary things. Even so, since I was given water, I didn't particularly need anything, but I was able to look for souvenirs. After that, we drove for about an hour and a half to the geocamping where we would stay that day. It was not a campsite right next to the Fustai National Park, but about a kilometer away from Fustai National Park. But the surroundings were a vast grassland, and the starry sky and the sunrise were very beautiful. Since the wild animals only come out in the evening, we spent the daytime relaxing in the gel. Since the gel also had Mongolian rental costumes, I think you can pass the time. (The only disappointing point of this tour was that I didn't have enough time to enjoy the rental costumes because I found out about them right before check-out.) We went to eat lunch at an outdoor restaurant, and then headed to Housty National Park. First, we went to the visitor center, and started the safari around 3:30 PM. Wild horses, Tahis, were clearly seen in Fustai National Park. It seemed like they were just coming to bathe, and I was very satisfied to see them up close. I also saw marmots, squirrels, and red deer. Gel's dinner was only fried dumplings called "Potion" and salad, but these Potion were incredibly delicious, so I had many refills. The toilet and shower are outside, but I didn't find it that inconvenient. The next day, we will go to Terrellji National Park. On the way, we were given a tour of Zaisan Hill, which wasn't on the itinerary. (Was it the guide's misunderstanding?) They came by without any sense of service. We were supposed to go to the Genghis Khan statue after that, but since we were running out of time, we changed the plan. First, we went to Kameishi and a nearby temple, rode horses, visited a traditional house, and went to a ger where we would stay for the night. Honestly, Teruel was completely commercialized, and it was not great with tourists everywhere, including Japanese tourists. The horseback riding experience is also about 40 minutes, and it feels like you're being pulled by a rope. On the last day, we went to the Genghis Khan statue that we had postponed from the day before in the morning, climbed to the observation deck, took a photo with an eagle on my hand, had lunch at a local diner in Ulaanbaatar, and they dropped me off at the hotel around 2 PM. I heard we were supposed to disband around 5 o'clock, but thanks to the early departure, I was able to sightsee in Ulaanbaatar myself, which was great. The hotel and meals weren't luxurious, and I felt the costs were kept down, but if it includes two nights of accommodation, all meals, and sightseeing for this price, it's more than enough! Housty National Park was really good. When I asked in Japanese, Tumen, a Mongolian guide who speaks Japanese, guided me diligently. I participated with a friend, and the Japanese mother and daughter who joined us were also very nice people, and the guide and driver were very nice too! It was a good trip that left me with a very good impression of Mongolia!

    Response from the operator: この度はArvai Tourのツアーにご参加いただき、詳しいご感想をお寄せくださり、誠にありがとうございます。 フスタイ国立公園でタヒを間近にご覧いただき、ほかの野生動物や草原の星空、朝日もお楽しみいただけたことを、大変嬉しく思います。フスタイでの宿泊が、ご期待に沿う体験となり何よりです。フーショールも気に入っていただけて嬉しいです! 一方、民族衣装のレンタルについて事前のご案内が足りず、十分にお楽しみいただけなかったことは申し訳ございませんでした。テレルジでの混雑や乗馬体験、宿泊施設・お食事についての率直なご意見も、今後のご案内とサービス改善に活かしてまいります。 日本語ガイドのトゥメンとドライバーへの温かいお言葉もありがとうございます。ぜひ本人たちにも伝えさせていただきます。 ご友人やご同行のお客様との旅が、モンゴルへの良い印象につながったことは、私たちにとって何よりの喜びです。またモンゴルでお迎えできる日を、心よりお待ちしております。 Arvai Tour

    3 Days Khustai and Terelj National parks tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ulaanbaatar.

    How much does 3 Days Khustai and Terelj National parks tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $550 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ulaanbaatar usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3 Days Khustai and Terelj National parks tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ulaanbaatar is not rushed.

    Is 3 Days Khustai and Terelj National parks tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ulaanbaatar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days Khustai and Terelj National parks tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 3 Days Khustai and Terelj National parks tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 Days Khustai and Terelj National parks tour?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ulaanbaatar can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ulaanbaatar and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 Days Khustai and Terelj National parks tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ulaanbaatar within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Ulaanbaatar?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Ulaanbaatar experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include BEST 5* Chinggis Khaan Airport UBN Ulaanbaatar Transfer Taxi 24/7, A day trip to Terelj National Park and Statue of Chinggis Khan, Genghis Khan Statue+Terelj Park+CamelRide+Eagle. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Ulaanbaatar?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Ulaanbaatar?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 3 Days Khustai and Terelj National parks tour?

    +

    Included: Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Airport and departure taxes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 3 Days Khustai and Terelj National parks tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 32 listed pickup locations in and around Ulaanbaatar. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 3 Days Khustai and Terelj National parks tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Korean, Japanese and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Is 3 Days Khustai and Terelj National parks tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
