Extension Tours in China |
|
|
For people arriving in Mongolia from China, this
is a great opportunity to stop off and see some
of the most important attractions of Beijing and
the surrounding area. We can arrange airport transfers,
hotels and sightseeing tours to the Great Wall,
the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square,
the Summer Palace, and the Temple of
Heaven. It is also possible to travel a little
further and do some hiking on the Great Wall,
or to visit Xian where the famous terracotta
warriors were discovered. A flight south would
take you to Guilin and the Li river Gorge where
you can enjoy some of the loveliest and most traditional
scenery in China, including a cruise down the
stunning Li River.

Extension Tours in Moscow |
|
Many people travelling to Mongolia arrive via Moscow.
If you would like to stop on the way to enjoy some
of the famous sights in and around Moscow,
we can arrange hotels, transfers and tours for you.
If you have time to take any excursions outside
the city, we recommend the cosmonaut Training
Centre, or Sergiev Posad, centre of the
Russian Orthodox church. We work with a small
local company in Moscow, who will give the same
friendly and personal service that you will experience
in Mongolia. |

Trans Siberian Train |
|
The infamous Trans Siberian train line runs from
Moscow to Beijing, passing through
Mongolia. It is a 5 day trip from Moscow to
Ulaanbaatar, and the train ride from Beijing
to Ulaanbaatar takes about 35 hours. The
compartments on the train have beds (clean bedding
is supplied), a table, and plenty of luggage space.
There is a restaurant car on the train serving reasonable
meals, and each time the train stops at a town it
is possible to disembark and buy snacks or drinks
on the platform. This is the most exciting way to
enter Mongolia, and we can arrange the train
journey for you, starting in either Moscow
or Beijing.

Extension
Tours in Mongolia
If you join one of our fixed date group trekking
tours, you might like to spend a few extra days
in Mongolia before or after the trek. Not far from
Ulaanbaatar is the Terelj National Park,
which is an area of big granite mountains, fast
flowing rivers and lush green meadows. It is ideal
for hiking and horseback riding, and there are many
traditional ger camps in the main valley where you
can stay.
An extension tour to Kharkhorin would
take 3 or 4 days, and a trip to the Gobi Desert
would be 3 - 5 days long. It is also possible
for us to arrange a tour in the northern region
of Khovsgol, which is a perfect place for more
hiking.

By cruising to Yangshuo from Guilin for 83 kilometers,
one can enjoy the charming beauty of the landscape.
Solitary
water-scarred limestone mountains rise out of
the river, their peaks hidden in swirling mists.
There is a popular saying that the mountains and
waters of Guilin are the best under heaven.
Located
southeast of Guilin City, and surrounded by 10
peaks, Yangshuo looks like a green lotus.
