Refer to our Package Notes if you are having trouble understanding how to look through these packages.
Moscow to Beijing - stopping in Mongolia
Travel on the Trans-Mongolian train including time in Mongolia! Book some of our varied tours in Mongolia before arriving in Beijing. Travel 7,622 kilometres, across three countries and five time zones from Europe to the Far East!
- TRIP NOTES: Only stopping in Mongolia for a minimum of 3 nights. Departure from Mongolia on THURSDAYS ONLY. Services in Mongolia must be booked with us as tickets for train #24 are in short supply!
- WE SUGGEST: Seriously consider a Lake Baikal stopover
(our MB28 option) as well. If just doing a Mongolia stopover
add in the Gobi on the way up to Ulaanbaatar to avoid backtracking
later.
Moscow to Lake Baikal and Beijing - via Trans-Mongolian
From Moscow, break the journey at the half-way point to explore stunning Lake Baikal before continuing on the most popular route through Mongolia to Beijing.
- TRIP NOTES: To Beijing via the Mongolian route. Minimum two nights stopover in Irkutsk. Odd numbered departure dates from Moscow and even numbered dates only from Irkutsk.
- WE SUGGEST: After travelling
up through Mongolia you’ll probably wish you had stopped
there (see packages MB28 & MB29)!
If you have been to Mongolia before then this is a good
option allowing you to maximize your time at Lake Baikal.
