he Trans-Siberian Railway stretches almost 6,000 miles and crosses eight time zones. On this exciting trip, you'll traverse the Mongolian Route in the comfort of a private train, ensuring the ultimate rail adventure. You'll arrive in Moscow and, after touring the Kremlin, board the train and head east, passing through small towns and beautiful countryside along the way. You'll stop at Novosivbirsk, the largest city in Siberia, and Irkutsk, once an important way station for expeditions and caravans. You'll also spend three nights in Mongolia's capital city of Ulaan Baatar, exploring temples and learning about local customs.
