Trans-Siberian Railway Mongolia train booking service
The Trans-Siberian Railway is the longest continuous rail line on earth. The total distance by rail from Beijing to St Petersburg, Russia is 7925 km.
The famous railway route runs between Moscow – Ulaanbaatar – Beijing. You can start your trip at any of these three completely different cultures. Or you may wish to combine train and air travel when visiting Mongolia, for example, some visitors arrive by train from Moscow or Beijing and then return by air. The choice of itinerary is yours and here at Black Ibex Expeditions, we are able to make these choices a reality by providing rail tickets to either destination to or from Ulaanbaatar.
The journey from Ulaanbaatar to Moscow by train takes about 5 days and from Ulaanbaatar to Beijing takes about 32 hours. On the journey, you are able to visit Irkutsk to see the beautiful Lake Baikal.
Each train has a choice between the 2nd class 4-berth compartments (kupi) and 1st class 2-berth compartments (spalny wagon or 'SV') as well as a restaurant. Tickets can only be purchased 1 month in advance.
Black Ibex Expeditions are happy to purchase your rail tickets to following destinations. Please send your inquiry by filling out form in right side of this page.
