This is a unique and cheap way to discover China, Mongolia and Russia or Russia, Mongolia and China. A train tour you will never forget...The longest and most famous railway journey in the world, the Trans Mongolian or Trans Siberian traverses Mongolia from China to Moscow, Russia or Mongolia from Moscow to China. Especially in Mongolia and in Russia it is very difficult to arrange transfers, hotels and transport by yourself. We advise to arrange as much as possible before starting the trip by booking of the start package listed below, so we can make all the necessary preparations (min. 210-180 days prior).
- Early booking is recommended.
- Valid Passport number required.
- Please contact the Mongolian Embassy or the Mongolian Consulate in your home country to see if you need a visa to enter Mongolia.
- The train leaves from Beijing Railway Station or from Ulaanbaatar Railway Station or from Moscow Railway Station or from Irkustk Railway Station.
- Please be at the railway station at least 1 hour in advance.
-Customs & Immigration: There are major delays of four to six hours at both, at the China-Mongolia and at the Russia-Mongolia borders. Often the trains cross the border during the middle of the night, when the alert Chinese, Mongolian and Russian officials maintain the upper hand. The whole process is not difficult or a hassle - just annoying because they keep interrupting your sleep. Your passport will be taken for inspection and stamping. During these stops, you can alight and wander around the station, which is just as well since the toilets on the train are locked during the whole inspection procedure.
-Generally you are only allowed to take 35kg of luggage, but for foreigners, this is rarely checked, except perhaps when departing Beijing. A lot of smuggling is done on this train, so never agree to carry anything across the border for anyone else.
- Please note that if you are booking this trip during the summer, be prepared for delayed ... ***Train Fares and Schedule are subject to change without notice.
- ATTENTION!: Your reservation is only valid after the confirmation and the full payment.
