Want to spend more time in Siberia as well as a stop in Mongolia? This great trip gives you three contrasting views of this vast land. Ekaterinburg in Western Siberia is near the Ural mountains. Here you can hike, raft or visit a traditional Siberian village. Historic Irkutsk and village life at Lake Baikal is in the heart of Siberia. Across the lake is the Buryat/Buddhist heritage in Ulan Uday, also home to the largest head of Lenin statue of in the world! Our three night stop in Mongolia gives you time in Ulaanbaatar and out on the steppe staying in a traditional ger. This trip operates throughout the year with some great winter options in Irkutsk and Ekaterinburg.
