Russia

Red Square, Moscow
From Russia with love....

Russia has an intricate, rich and somewhat dark history, which undoubtably adds to its diverse culture. Known infamously for fine Vodka, no trip to Russia can be without a little vodka, it offers a lot more; with palaces and museums in the cities, and beautiful countryside filled with rivers, lakes, the Virgin Komi Forest, the Volcanoes of Kamchatka and the Solovestsky Islands

The Vodkatrain

21 Days

St Petersburg to Beijing
Why would you want to sit on a stuffy flight for 10 hours? The only way to get to and from Asia is by train. It might take an extra 20 days or so, but hey ho, you’ll see and experience so much that you’ll be regaling fantastical tales to friends, family and domestic pets for years and years. This incredible journey takes you from the ‘Venice of the North’, St Petersburg to the pulsating capital city of China, Beijing – or vice versa. In between you’ll visit a profusion of unbelievable and unpronounceable places. Hang out with nomads in the wilds of Mongolia, explore devastatingly beautiful wilderness in and around Lake Baikal, absorb centuries of intriguing history in Moscow and Ekaterinburg and discover Ulaanbaatar, the only capital in the world where you’re more likely to get run over by a horse than a Honda.

12 Days

Moscow to Beijing
In these belt-tightening times you need to be a little thrifty – but you mustn’t miss out on the good times! Gaze your eyes on this fantastic low cost alternative. It's short and sweet and packs in all the highlights - visiting Moscow, Lake Baikal, Ulaanbaatar, and a ger encampment en-route to the Chinese Capital of Beijing. You can expect all the best bits of a Vodkatrain experience; the Honcho's, small groups, young  likeminded travellers, visa support and booking help from the very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Things are less expensive because you’re travelling in a communal 6 berth carriage and your transfers are by public transport. So if you’re looking for the amazing experience of a Trans Mongolian Railway journey but need to watch the pennies - this is the way to go!
