Tailor Made Journeys

Experience the wide open spaces of Asia for yourself aboard your own overland journey. Create the dream here then live the adventure for yourself aboard Asia’s most remarkable railways or along its most famous trade route.

Joining the cities via road, rail and high passes is only limited by your imagination. Sundowners Overland can tailor a journey that suits your time, budget and adventurous spirit.

What is Tailor Made?
Tailor Made Journeys mean that you are not travelling with a tour group. You are travelling on your own or with your own companions on an itinerary that is customised for you. Aboard trains single passengers will share with three other travellers in their compartments. These travellers may be other tourists or local people travelling between towns or cities. Passengers travelling with a companion can choose to travel in a shared 4 berth compartment or can travel in a 2 berth compartment for a supplementary price.

How does it work?
After creating an itinerary Sundowners Overland then confirm each of the services you have requested and provide you with a detailed day by day itinerary and vouchers for each service you have booked. Your day by day itinerary includes instructions on how to collect your rail tickets as well as information about your hotels, train times and contact details for our local representatives in each of the countries you visit. All you need to do is follow your customised itinerary and enjoy the adventure ahead of you!

You may also request many of the short stay options listed on this map. Many cities and routes not listed in this brochure are also available to you.

What's included?
As much or as little as you like. Transport between cities on local trains, planes and/or buses; some transfers; and accommodation in a mix of comfortable hotels, guesthouses, homestays and occasional traditional ger stays are all possibilities. You are free to arrange meals and sightseeing locally. Additional transfers and sightseeing can also be pre-booked as part of your customised itinerary. 

How flexible are the itineraries?
The only limitations to creating your own itinerary on our standard routes are the rail schedules, however, since all trains depart at least once a week and many depart daily, this opens up a world of possibilities. Of course, you do need to decide on your complete itinerary before booking to meet visa and advance reservation requirements. There are no "hop on, hop off" or open dated rail passes, and visas for Russia and many Central Asian countries are issued only for the dates of pre-booked travel arrangements.

Too many possibilities and not sure what to choose? Our experienced Travel Advisors are more than happy to discuss your personal requirements with you or your travel agent and make suggestions to ensure your journey is an adventure of a lifetime.

Visas?
Sundowners Overland will also provide all required invitation letters (for the dates of our pre-booked services) and full visa support including detailed visa guidelines.
