As Winston Churchill once infamously said, "Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma". This train tour is the only reliable way to see those vast lands accessible by the unique Baikal–Amur Mainline only. BAM traverses Eastern Siberia and incredibly beautiful and desolate Far East from Vladivostok to Lake Baikal, bypassing Chinese border in Khabarovsk city and small local towns lost in the middle of nowhere.
