This is a routing with two en-route stops that pan out very well in terms of breaking-up the intervening rail journey more evenly. Our super range of Urals-related stops in Ekaterinburg caters for a year round selection of side-trip options, whatever time of year you’re travelling – while we have our winning formula of some time in soviet era capital Ulaanbaatar plus two days out in the Mongolian countryside at the Elstei Ger Lodge.
