North Asia Tour Packages
Red Square and the Hermitage in Russia, the Trans-Siberian line and Lake Baikal, and the Gobi Desert and ger camps of Mongolia. North Asia is for travellers who want wide landscapes, history and snow.
North Asia Tour Overview
North Asia covers northern Russia and Siberia, and Mongolia. Moscow has Red Square, the Kremlin and the metro stations. Saint Petersburg has the Hermitage, canals and the White Nights in early summer. Siberia has Lake Baikal, the deepest lake in the world, and the Trans-Siberian railway. Mongolia has Ulaanbaatar, the Gobi Desert, grasslands and nomadic ger camps.
A first trip is often 7 to 8 days in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, or 7 days in Mongolia with Ulaanbaatar, Terelj and the Gobi. Winter trips add snow, ice and northern lights in the far north. Entry rules, flights and payment options for Russia can change, so we check the current situation with you before booking and share official travel advice.
