Ulaangom Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Hitching

Getting to and from Ulaangom is fairly difficult and you’ll need time and patience on your side. For points east most vehicles head to and from Tosontsengel (Zavkhan), the halfway point to Ulaanbaatar. Very few vehicles go to or from Mörön (Khövsgöl).

An occasional vehicle travels to or from Ölgii (Bayan–Ölgii). From Ulaangom to Khovd city, hitching is even harder. In Ulaangom, ask around the modern and busy petrol station near the market, and at the market itself.
