Golden Eagle Trans-Mongolian Express

Please note all Trans-Siberian and Trans-Mongolian departures have been suspended indefinitely due to the ongoing war in Ukraine and the international sanctions that have been subsequently placed on Russia. We have other rail departures operating in Central Asia from our new base in Tashkent, Uzbekistan or Europe for 2023.

Golden Eagle Trans-Mongolian Express (Eastbound)

Naadam is the one and only Big Event in Mongolia - a spectacularly colourful national festival, held every year. Naadam literally means 'three manly games'. Known as the world's second oldest Olympics, it celebrates what defined civilisation in the Steppes eight centuries ago: archery, wrestling and horse-riding.
