  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.
