Travel - Internal

Air
Internal flights are operated by MIAT – Mongolian International Air Transport (OM). This is the recommended means of travelling to remote areas.

Rail
There are 1815km (1127 miles) of track. The main line runs from north to south: Sukhbaatar–Darkhan–Ulaanbaatar–Sainshand. Branch lines serve the principal industrial regions.

Road
Paved roads are to be found only in or near major cities. Bus: There are frequent bus services between major towns, but the roads are mostly unpaved. Car hire: Available through tourism companies (although self drive is not available since most roads are unpaved, maps are poor and there are no road signs). Jeeps, camels or horses are available for hunters, trekkers and special-interest travellers.

Urban
There are frequent bus and trolleybus services in the city.
