Through way to Russia I can buy a ticket for Moscow - Irkutsk and Irkutsk to Beijing, adding £20 for each stopover? I would like to stop in Ekaterinburg to hike the Urals or are the Altai mountains better? (stop in Novosibirsk?) Lake Baikal to dive (do you know of a diving company?) Ulan Ude Ulaan Bataar Would that be £100 extra then for the 5 stops? Or do I buy a ticket for each section? Thanks Andri

I don't think it is good to hike in Urals, Altai mountains are much more interesting. I went there last summer and you can fine a full guide to Altai on our site. You will need to go to Novosibirsk (which is a very nice city too!) and then get to Gorno-Altaysk. It's a bit far though, so maybe you'll want to hire a guide with a car. Maybe you could hike also near Baikal lake, which is interesting too. There's also a rafting trip near Krasnoyarsk in the end of June -- http://www.ethnolife.ru -- for more info (just click on e-mail and write to them in English, if you can't read Russian). Regarding the diving company in Baikal -- check out our Baikal guide, there are a lot of links to various good and reliable travel agencies. Regarding the ticket price -- it all depends. I propose you submit the request, and then you will receive a quote and if you like it, you can order the tickets. Keep in mind though that the price will be higher than at a railway station, because of the taxes, commissions, etc. But it is fair.
