Overview

The Trans Mongolian Railway is one of the greatest rail journeys in the world.  Spend your days on the train admiring some of the earth’s most remote landscapes including barren plains, green grasslands and deep forests. Interact with the locals, learn some handy phrases, play copious amounts of card games and sample some Russian vodka or Chinese rice wine. There is time to explore major cities such as St Petersburg, Moscow, Ulaan Bataar and Beijing, and you’ll have options to take a boat trip on Lake Baikal, go horse riding through the endless Mongolian plains and walk along the majestic Great Wall of China. It’s an incredible, unforgettable journey encompassing three extremely unique, beautiful landscapes.
