ryones heard of Outer Mongolia.Inner Mongolia? The names come
m Imperial China. When they conqueredngolia they realised ruling it would be
possible. So the grassland part nearest tojing (the Inner part) they ruled like the restChina, but they gave up once the Gobi washe way, and the Outer part was ruledmartial law. Outer Mongolia is now theependent country of Mongolia - one ofworlds least-visited.
e outstanding feature of this trip, howeverell, except for Lake Baikal, which we haventout!) is Huhehot, the Inner Mongolianital simultaneously a part of China, yet
aining much of its Mongol heritage, includingpectacular thousand-Buddha pagoda.

The trip:Heres a Trans-Sib itinerary that surprised evenus with its success! At its heart is one of ourclassic Mongolia programs and places wherethe majority of the population continue to liveas herders, living in gers (the wood-framedcamel-felt tent) and tending their animals.
As a counterbalance to Mongolias poise andtranquillity, this trip includes a two-day mini-expedition to the last remaining Soviet gulag,not far from Perm. Gulags were always builtin remote areas (obviously) and we leverage
double value by heading into the uninhabitedUrals and returning by raft.
This isnt frenzied white-water, but a leisurelyfloat down the Usva, through amazing sceneryinaccessible by road with camping alongthe way, as youre miles from any inhabitedlocations in the middle of the Ural Mountains!
If youre looking for the real life
of Mongolia, you need to resetyour mental coordinates

ng ago when our managing director still hadr, this was our biggest itinerary. Although wew have trips more than double its duration,winning formula keeps its popularityning strong. It starts in Moscow and ends injing so you get the full experience of theond-largest city in Europe and the pulsatingitement of Asias new Olympic city.
eres no Siberian city more emblemic thanutsk and its also the gateway to Lake Baikal.way of complete contrast, the other side-trip
this winning itinerary is Mongolia, whereres a great balance between the landscaped life of the Mongolian steppe at the Elsteir Lodge, and a chance to explore the uniqueital on the steppes Ulaanbaatar, where
ddhism meets broadband in a charmingxture thats uniquely Mongolian.

Naadam is the most giganticfestival on the Mongolian calendar -sports-fixture, social event, andfestive feast rolled into one. It falls
just once per year, and crowdsflock from all over the country -so we've roped-off places inhotels and trains in readiness.It's a festival untainted by big-business blandness, but our localteam will work to get you throughthe mayhem to all of the events!
(The events happen simultaneouslyin different places - we aim to getyou to the highlights of each,plus some time to soak-up theatmosphere). Mongolian wrestling,traditional steppe archery (clout-shooting), and horse-racing arethe star events, along with theGrand Parade. Mongolia closes-down for the three days of Naadam,so we've planned our festiveprogramme around that, includingsightseeing timed to catch thingswhen they're open. You canexpect to meet other clients onthis once-only Trans-Sib itinerary.

The trip:a contrast to some of our trips showcasingture, history and traditions, this one is moreventure-driven and packed with outdoorvity! It even operates year round, includingky dog sledding in the Winter and hiking
Lake Baikal in Summer (or snowmobiles innter). And theres always a little shot of vodkahand to warm you up!
s itinerary is neatly balanced, spreading theee en-route side trips quite evenly throughoutjourney, so that you dont have long
broken sections on board the trainl, they might be long in British terms butyre just the twinkling of an eye here!
ce the glamour of big cities like Moscow,terinburg and Beijing is factored in, its aat blend of action and urban sophisticationone neatly planned itinerary.
The Lake usually freezes several
metres deep in winter, and even
truck-drivers use it as a short-cut

The trip:
Beijing
The Trans-Mongolian rail route takes in theTrans-Siberian (the Trans-Sib, remember, is thepart between the Ural Mountains and Ulan-Uday only... one of the great misunderstoodelements of this rail route!) and then divessouthwards to catch Ulaanbaatar along theway to Beijing.
It was the rail route which built Ulaanbaataras we know it today before the railway, theMongolian capital wasnt even fixed in oneplace, but followed the Royal Court and its
retinue in ger tents around a calendar route ofMongolias Buddhist monasteries. The mostimportant of the monasteries, Gandantegchinlen(or just Gandan in everyday speech) waswhere the Royal Court spent the long, snow-bound winters, and a ger encampment becamesettled around the Gandan the settlement ofUrga (not really a city in the modern sense the sunscorched pasture of Mongolia couldntsupport cities that remained in one placefor long). In fact when Mongolian heroSukhebaatar wanted to enlist Lenins help inoverthrowing the Chinese, he had to ride toMoscow by horse in person (his heroic ridetook just seven days and nights) to do so.The USSR built a railway to its new Asianally (the second country in the world to jointhe great experiment in socialism) a railroute which still links up the three capitalsof Moscow, Ulaanbaatar and Beijing.
This route is ideal for those who have limitedtime but still want to take the rail route andsee something of Mongolia along the way.Ulaanbaatar makes a charming contrast to thehuge megapolises that frame the ends of the
route being around one-tenth the size ofBeijing or Moscow.

The trip:here anyone whose mental picture of Russianns isnt shaped by Strelnikovs train roaringt in the snow, flags flying? If theres one
m famous in the West about Russia, itsctor Zhivago. Yet few realise the Nobelze-winning work was based on a soviet-eranned novel by poet Boris Pasternak.
e majority of the action of the book takesce on and along the Trans-Siberian Railroad.
th this trip weve taken the standardns-Siberian routing and switched the centrenterest round to Perm (a major halt in the
als). This city is the novels setting. Pasternakmself lived in the city for a while and most of
books locations are real places well showu on the city tour.
r trip then heads for Mongolia and finallyBeijing.

of Russian trains isnt shapedby Strelnikovs train roaring past

The trip:This is the one for the real train fans straightthrough from Moscow to Beijing non-stop, viaManchuria the longest international train
journey in the world (although Moscow-Vladivostok, which isnt international, is stilllonger!). This is more of a land cruise on rails,and although none of the stops are longer thantwenty minutes, you still sense the way thatEurope slowly ebbs into Asia, rather than anabrupt change that happens at a border.
The Trans-Manchurian is the original rail routing
to China, built once again by Russian merchantswho saw the commercial prospects for areliable and fast way of moving Asian goods toEurope for the retail industry (which, strangely,is exactly the way the Russian Government nowviews the future of the Trans-Siberian as air-freight becomes more expensive and discreditedon environmental grounds). The route alsoplayed an important role in the final days of theChinese Empire, as China fractured into two the communists in Beijing, with the Empireand a Japanese-financed rival Governmentin Manchuria.

Westbound Departures(Big Trans-Siberian)
Most of our itinerary models originating
in Moscow have Westbound alternatives.
Here we are showing the Big Trans-Siberian
journey originating in Beijing.Please note that
train timetables run with some differences
(days & times) going West-East, also the
prices dont automatically mirror the
journeys starting in Russia.
Theres no Siberian city more emblemic
than Irkutsk and its also the gateway to LakeBaikal. By way of complete contrast, the other
side-trip on this winning itinerary is Mongolia,
where theres a great balance between the
landscape and life of the Mongolian steppe
at the Elstei Ger Lodge, and a chance to
explore the unique capital on the steppes
Ulaanbaatar, where Buddhism meets
broadband in a charming mixture thats
uniquely Mongolian.
