Hustai National Park
Hustai National Park (Mongolian: Хустайн байгалийн цогцолборт газар), located in the Khustai Mountains of Töv Province, is a national park of Mongolia. It is also known as Khustain Nuruu National Park. It covers an area of 506 km2 (195 sq mi). The Tuul River runs through the park.[1]
History
A Przewalski's horse
The Mongolian Government declared Hustai National Park as a Specially Protected Area in 1993, one year after the initiation of the reintroduction project of the Takhi[2] (Przewalski's horse) to the Hustain Nuruu. The HNP extends through the Khentii Mountains and includes the western edge of the Mongolian steppe at the boundaries of Altanbulag, Argalant and Bayankhangai Soums of Töv Province. The park is about 100 km from the capital city of Ulaanbaatar to the west.[3][4]
In 2002, the Man and the Biosphere Reserves organization of UNESCO certified the HNP as a member of the world biosphere network of natural reserves. The HNPT was enrolled as a member of IUCN in 2007.[5]
Wildlife
The park is home to 459 species of vascular plants, 85 species of lichens, 90 species of moss and 33 species of mushrooms. Some 44 species of mammals have been recorded, including Altai wapiti, Mongolian gazelle, roe deer, wild boar, wild sheep, ibex, Mongolian marmots, grey wolf, Eurasian lynx, Pallas's cat, red fox, corsac fox and Eurasian badger. The park has been designated an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International; its 217 bird species of birds include golden eagle, lammergeier, great bustard, whooper swan, black stork, Daurian partridge and little owl. There are 16 species of fish, two species of amphibians, and 385 species of insects (including 21 species of ants, 55 species of butterflies, 10 species of bush crickets and 29 species of grasshoppers). A new species of soil insect has been found in the Hustai and given the scientific name of Epidamaeus khustaiensis.
Management
Hustai National Park was the first park to be managed by a Non-governmental Organization specializing in nature and environmental conservation. The park was managed by the Mongolian Association for the Conservation of Nature and the Environment during 1993-2003. A dedicated NGO, the Hustai National Park Trust (HNPT), was established in 2003 and signed a contract with the Mongolian Government which delegated the management of the HNP to the new NGO.
The HNPT conducts operations in five main activity areas as follows:
Conservation and protection of ecosystems and historical sites in the park.
Reintroduction of the last species of wild horse - the Takhi - and building-up of a sustainable wild population.
Organization of international training courses and research.
Development of ecotourism.
Development of the buffer zone of the HNP.

Переглядів 1912 годин тому
This park lies 650 meter above most of Ulaanbaatar , making it an ideal getaway to escape the hazardous Winter pollution since it is only 12km north from CBD. Chingeltei Peak at 1950 metres above sea level forms part of the four major peaks which surround Ulaanbaatar.
Selbe National Park

Welcome to the source of the Selbe river. Recently a lake was built here, in Summer you can canoe and in Winter you can go sledging down the slopes. This place is ideal to get away from the pollution to restore your lungs to default factory settings. It is only 30 minutes from the capital city when there's no traffic. Highly recommend visiting with friends and family.
Highest peak of Khentii Mountain Range - Asralt Khairkhan
Переглядів 12021 годину тому
I embarked on my first high altitude expedition in Mongolia near the border of Russia. There are three major high altitude mountain ranges in Mongolia: Altai Bogd, Khentii and Khangai with the highest at 4374 metres above sea level . I successfully summited the highest peak of Khentii mountain range in extreme temperatures below minus 20 degrees. One down, two more to go. *Correction, the snowb...

Out of the over 7,800 documented waterfalls in the world, there are only 31 known perennial and seasonal waterfalls that empty directly into an open ocean or sea (as opposed flowing into a river, stream, inlet, or fjord). Waterfalls that flow directly into an ocean are known as tidefalls. The breakdown of tidefalls by regions is: three in Africa (two are in South Africa's Wild Coast) , seven in...

Hectic bru. That's one off a road😲
Only 8% of roads are paved in Mongolia.
Shukran, got my Saudi driver's license. Shukran for this info. A good idea for this vid to gain more traction is to change the title. Use key words as South African License in Saudi or something of the sort...
Glad it all went well. The procedure isn't exclusive to only South African licenses, we're just part of the bigger picture.
😍
Thank you
Always good watching these awesome videos 💪🏼

Thank you, you should check it out in your free time. However I think Jirisan is closer to you from Busan since there's a new bus route.
Top one👌🏼
Thank you, hope you get to check it out.
Thank you for explaining how to do the hike including how to get there, very helpful. Could you swim in the pools? Was the water cold? I dont see anyone in it. Drinking water from waterfalls or provided?
Swimming was allowed on the multi-day hikes. It wasn't too cold considering it was Autumn. The shelters sell bottled water but I believe you can drink the water with purifying drops.
Beautiful and peaceful
Thank you
Hi how was the hike to the cave did you start at the hotel? And how long more or less did it take you? Did you use gps and was the cave easy to find. I want to do this cave just need some more information. Thanx 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Started and ended at Cathedral peak hotel. Did it as a two day loop. I used a map to plan my route. The cave is difficult to find even with a GPS and the approach can be dangerous.

What a shame to see the camps so run down. Used to go there often
It is unfortunate. Hopefully they get restored for the future generations.

Awesome, what did you get ?

Thank you so much for showing us the beauty of nature in different ways. I.was looking for saudi arabia forest. And I found yours. I don't know how far this is reliable but I am happy because it's arid zone
It's a pleasure. Saudi is the 13th largest country in the world, not all of it is dry. We explored many waterfalls and rainforests. It even snows in Saudi.
@@HiddenGemExplore that's great 👍
