Start at Russia’s cultural capital, Saint Petersburg, where you will enjoy famous palaces, museums and some amazing architecture; enjoy the cosmopolitan vibe of Moscow; make a stopover at the border between Europe and Asia, the city of Ekaterinburg; take a dip in the crystal clear waters of Russia’s natural treasure, Baikal Lake; stay at the real Mongolian Ger exploring natural treasures o the nomadic country. And finish your journey in Beijing.

Choosing your perfect Trans- Mongolian Train may seem tricky at first. Here is some useful information about the two main options.
1) You may take one of the special tourist trains, which have just a few scheduled group departures per year. These are express sleeper trains that make only brief stops at the cities en route, and your nights of accommodation are spent on the train, in a compartment. On these tourist trains, you travel with a group of 120-150 other international travelers. Prices start from 5350 EUR/8250 AUD/6300 USD for a 2-berth compartment.
2) There are daily Russian trains. With this option, you have the flexibility and freedom to choose your dates of travel and enjoy your own, custom-made itinerary, focusing on your interests. We at Discovery Russia are always happy to provide recommendations to you to help you choose a tried and tested, or a brand new itinerary. English-speaking guides and tours are available at every location you visit. Rates start from AUD 3250.
How much do our Trans-Mongolian packages cost? Well, that largely depends on you. You may choose 3* or 5* hotels, first class compartment for two, or for a hard sleeper; you may choose ten stops or no stops on the way; and you may travel for as long as your Russian visa is valid.
