Routes

The trans-siberian is a catch all term for the three train lines that run from Moscow. Trans-Mongolian line runs from Moscow to Beijing, via Mongolia. Trans-Manchurian line from Moscow to Beijing via Harbin in Manchuria - avoiding Mongolian borders altogether. Lastly the Trans-Siberian is the longest and classic route within Russia running from Moscow to Vladivostok on the east coast. We offer a range of trips on the trans-siberian. You can start your trip in Beijing, Moscow (well St Petersburg actually) or Vladivostok. We also offer trips that start and finish in Beijing for those of you based in Asia.
