Rails Across the Steppe

This trip is a strong fit for travelers who like railway journeys, wide landscapes, cultural stops and simple but memorable accommodation. It is not a luxury rail tour. Expect practical hotels, shared train facilities, two nights in a ger camp and a few long travel days.
The ger camp accommodation is twin-share with bedding provided. Bathrooms and toilets are shared and located in a separate building. Showers have water heaters, but the water pressure may be weaker than what you are used to in a city hotel.
The overnight train uses four-berth compartments. Cabins are allocated on a mixed-gender basis, and depending on group size, some travelers may share with passengers who are not part of the group. Sheets, a pillow and a blanket are provided, and communal bathrooms are located at the end of each carriage.
This tour is part of a longer itinerary, so you may join travelers who have already been on the road together. If you have more time and want a broader route, ask about the longer China and Mongolia railway option.

Visa details are provided through Sherpa, a third-party service. The “Add connection” feature only shows transit visa requirements, not full entry visas. Additional service fees apply if you purchase a visa via Sherpa.

Accommodation includes 7 nights in hotels, 1 night on an overnight train and 2 nights in a tourist ger camp. The accommodation type listed in the itinerary is a guide and can change if preferred properties are unavailable. If that happens, a similar standard will be arranged where possible.
Rooms are generally twin-share unless the itinerary says otherwise. Some facilities may be shared rather than ensuite, and this is noted where relevant.
Hotels are asked to prepare rooms before the group arrives, especially after early arrivals, but immediate check-in cannot always be guaranteed. If rooms are not ready, luggage can usually be stored so the group can explore before checking in.
If you book pre-trip or post-trip accommodation, you may need to change rooms from your main trip room for those extra nights, depending on hotel availability.
