The Big Trans Siberian Train Ride!

Great Trans Siberian Rail - one of the greatest rail journeys in the world!

15 Days The Great Siberia & Mongolia Rail Combo
This is our most popular trip to date - a winning combination of both Siberia and Mongolia packaged into an itinerary that you can fit into a two week holiday.

In Siberia stay at Lake Baikal with an overnight in historic Irkutsk. In Mongolia spend time in both Ulaanbaatar and the Steppe staying in a traditional felt Ger. This trip operates year round - including the Ger stays!

Our Ger winter program operates mid October to the beginning of May and during this time the facilities are limited. Due to colder climates there is no use of the showers but you get to freshen up in Ulaanbaatar before you arrive and the toilets although outside are still operational. Our restaurant with a different location is still making delicious Mongolian winter treats and horse riding is an available option for you to book locally. A 16-day version is available also.
