The Moscow-Vladivostok route appeals to train fans, completists, historians, and sometimes those heading to Japan too.  You don’t pass through Mongolia on this route, but you can (and do!) stop at Lake Baikal, with a choice of options (included) ranging from the active to the sedentary, and even the underwater!  Other Siberian destinations (Ekaterinburg, Ulan-Uday) could potentially be added – contact us if you would like a sample price and itinerary for doing so.
