Nomadic Journeys has recently embarked on extending our trips slightly beyond the Mongolian frontiers, amazing border crossings to Russia and China, which allows for train or vehicle to/from Mongolia. New land border crossings have been open for passport holders of third countries between Russia and Mongolia, which extends our services to the Russian Federation Republics of Altai and Buryatia. Both with sizeable numbers of indigenous people such as Mongol Buryats,  Inner Mongolians, Kazakhs and Altai peoples.

You may enter or exit Mongolia via the Russian cities of Barnaul in southern Siberia or Ulan-Ude on the eastern side of Lake Baikal. As well as through Jining/Datong in China.  Jining is quite unkown but it is a large city, the railway junction for Inner Mongolia. Ulan-Ude and Jining are connected to Ulaanbaatar by direct railway line.
