Trans Siberian & Trans Mongolian Railway

For lovers of travel and lovers of railways alike the Trans Siberian Railway is an incredible passing panorama across a vast and dramatic landscape. A thread of metal,an engine at full power. The interplay and intrigue of an entire track-borne community on a train to the far side of the world. Siberia, ‘the sleeping land’ will astound you – harsh and rugged. Green and beautiful in summer and gloriously white in winter. This vast land tempted travellers even before the train. Hunters,  trappers, explorers and adventurers – characters all – in search of fame and fortune.

Life on board is ceaseless activity. Hawkers passing through carriages selling sweets and borsch soup… people dining in the buffet car… passengers parading along corridors… another stop. New faces clambering aboard… a chess game in Compartment Six… mingling with the local Russian people. There is always something to do. At journey’s end it is hard to fathom where all the time has gone, and nothing quite compares to a long train ride.

For any genuine traveller, travelling across the breadth of China, Mongolia and Russia on board the Trans Siberian or Mongolian railways is a must. For sheer distance, intrigue and, on completion,  the tremendous sense of real personal satisfaction, no other train journey comes anywhere near it.
