In the countryside, there are no medical facilities and, while medical facilities are available in Ulaanbaatar , standards and methods of treatments are not the same as in the West. Therefore, the prospect of illness or hospitalization while in Mongolia should not be taken lightly. If you have a serious medical problem or a medical condition which might be adversely affected by strenuous travel, please contact us so we may provide more precise information.

Since serious illness or accidents involving serious injury are best treated at a Western medical facility, and since emergency medical evacuation can be extremely expensive, we highly recommend that travelers to remote destinations such as Mongolia obtain travel insurance which includes emergency evacuation coverage. This insurance covers the cost of emergency transportation if an accident or illness during the trip requires you to be transported to medical care or to return home.
