Expanded versions of these itineraries are also available, featuring additional stops (such as Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Ulan-Ude), or special-activity side-trips en-route, with options for trekking, scuba (PADI-1 required), rafting, horse-riding etc. Please email us to be sent details of these itineraries.

Please note that - contrary to popular myth! - there aren't daily services on ANY section of the Trans-Siberian routes, and some sections are served by trains which operate weekly - or even less frequently than that! For these reasons, it is normally not possible to foreshorten any of our recommended itineraries, or to vary the start-day given. Nor are any kind of "go-as-you-please passes" available, unfortunately!
