Trans-Mongolian Classic St.Petersburg to Beijing
The Trans-Mongolian put Mongolia on the map – literally. Mongolia had thrown off Chinese rule in 1924, and once the fighting had died down the USSR made building a railway to Urga – now renamed Ulaanbaatar, “Red Hero” – a top priority in the first of its famous Five Year Plans. Even if you don’t stop (as you don’t, on this itinerary – but you can on others!) you still see some astonishing landscapes as you go thundering… well, alright, it’s nearer to “trundling”… through the Southern Gobi en route to Beijing.

The journey you have chosen has some “extras” that are necessary and then “extras" that will enhance your trip. We cannot re-iterate that we pride ourselves on making the trip you have chosen the best it can be – so if we don’t mention something you want, ask us and we’ll try our best to make it happen! In return, we try to inform you about any great “extras” along the way, so that you have the chance to try them if you want! Visas are a necessary extra and needed for all the countries you travel through. Current costs and relevant information can be found under Visas tab.
Upgrading to 2-berth compartment
Upgrading to 2-berth compartment on the train is also an option, you will see under Prices tab. This service becomes more popular every year though train operators don't help it confirming this request only 30 days or less prior to your departure. We have however devised a workaround that has proved itself as a reliable one. We request a 2-berth at the time of booking but if this comes back not possible we block out a 4-berth compartment for 2 person occupancy. The standard of these cabins remains the same, and you get the extra space and privacy one way or the other.
City day trip options
We offer a range of unique day trip options which we recommend to pre-book prior to departure to avoid disappointment. We cannot guarantee that you can book them locally as local guides may already be allocated to pre-booked clients.
Starting or ending in China
We have a range of services for passengers wanting to stay or continue their journey into China at the start or end of their journey.
Prices provided here are for guidance only. Formal prices will be provided when we provide a formal invoice.
