Mongolia by train: the Transmongolian railway
Mongolia can be reached also by train, along the legendary Transmongolian Railway system. This journey crosses Central Asia covering 6000 km. You will board the train at Moscow station and then you'll set off across Siberia, reaching the city of Irkutsk. From here you will leave for Ulaan Bataar, the capital of Mongolia. Here we suggest to stop for a few days to visit the nearby attractions, including Gorkhi Terelj Park and Khustai National Park.
From the railway station you will leave again for China, where the journey ends in Beijing. The Transmongolian ride is surely thrilling and unforgettavle, but is also very expensive. Many choose it as a honeymoon.
