Traveling from Moscow to Beijing overland is possible one of the greatest journeys on Earth. This epic trip will take you from walls of the Kremlin, through the vast forests of Siberia and across the wild steppe-land of Mongolia to the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City of China’s ancient capital. En route we visit the world class art galleries and cathedrals of Moscow, sail on the world’s largest fresh water lake – Baikal, stay in a traditional Mongolian yurt and walk on the Great Wall of China. In between life on the train is a mixture of eating, reading, sleeping, meeting fellow travelers, enjoying the odd vodka (maybe for breakfast) and watching the world go by on this truly spectacular adventure.
