Travel Insurance

Remote Mongolian landscape highlighting the importance of travel insurance

We strongly recommend that all travellers visiting Mongolia arrange suitable travel insurance before departure. Mongolia is a safe and welcoming destination, but many journeys include remote areas, long driving routes, outdoor activities, and places far from major hospitals or city services.

Your travel insurance should cover the full duration of your trip and include medical expenses, emergency treatment, hospitalization, accident support, emergency evacuation, trip cancellation or interruption, travel delays, baggage loss, and personal belongings.

Before travelling, please check your insurance policy carefully to make sure it covers the activities included in your itinerary, such as horse riding, camel riding, trekking, camping, off-road travel, winter travel, or other adventure-style experiences.

Travellers should carry a digital and printed copy of their insurance certificate, policy number, and emergency contact details during the trip. Steppe Travel can provide itinerary and booking documents if needed, but insurance purchase and claim handling are the responsibility of the traveller and insurance provider.

Having proper travel insurance helps protect you from unexpected situations and gives you greater peace of mind while enjoying Mongolia’s wide-open landscapes, remote routes, and unique cultural experiences.
