Trans Siberian Railway Journey
The Trans Siberian Railway runs all year long, but during the warmer months, from March through October, see the most travelers. Our “Train to Ger” stopover, where travelers can get off and spend a few days staying with a real herder family, riding horses, enjoying traditional Mongolian food and experiencing daily life as herders live it today, is a popular activity with those using the railway. The Trans Siberian Railway is a great journey and visiting Mongolia along the route is a must see stop, giving travelers an opportunity to stretch their legs and experience a new country.
How to plan a Trans Siberian Railway Journey
When planning your Trans Siberian Railway Journey, you’ll want to read as much as you can about the countries the railway travels through, the people you’ll meet and the things you can do along the way. There are a number of stopovers to take advantage of, with Irkutsik on Lake Baikhal, Russia being a very popular place to spend some time. Here is a website to help with planning your Trans Siberian Railway Journey. It’s packed with lots of information.
The Local Mongolian “Train to Ger” Experience
Mongolia is one of the easiest countries to visit along the way. The people are very hospitable and welcoming and spending time with a local countryside family is a heartwarming experience. An authentic experience. Our own “Train to Ger” herder home stay with Yadmaa and Davasuren is one such activity that a growing number of Trans Siberian Railway travelers now have under their belt, and have written about and talked of fondly. One such person was Rachel from Singapore. She has detailed her Trans Siberian Train travel in her blog posts here, Mongolia to Moscow. She’s a great writer with humorous stories and anecdotes of her travels.
