Overview
Seventeen days crossing two countries by train. Start in Mongolia's Terelj National Park, overnight in traditional yurts, then board the Trans-Siberian. Lake Baikal by boat, five nights in twin-share cabins, wooden concert halls in Irkutsk, and two nights in Moscow to close it out.
Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Sleep five nights on the Trans-Siberian, quad cabins where someone's always awake when the train stops at 3 AM in Novosibirsk.
- Cross Lake Baikal in winter, ice thick enough to drive on, or in summer when the water's so clear you see 40 meters down.
- Ulaanbaatar to Moscow spans three time zones, and the dining car serves borscht that tastes better the further west you roll.
- Irkutsk's wooden Decembrist houses still stand, painted shutters older than the railway itself.
- Moscow's end-of-line arrival hits different after 17 days: Red Square feels earned, not Instagrammed.
