We are currently planning our itinerary of stops and would like your recommendations of the best places to stop (should we stop at all?), best things to do at these stops (hiking, outdoor activities, sightseeing etc.), and how long we should stay at each stop for (hours, days?). We plan on doing the journey in approx 2.5 - 3 weeks. Moscow Vladimir Nizhni Novgorod Kazan Perm Yekaterinburg Tyumen Omsk Novosibirsk Krasnoyarsk Irkutsk Ulan Ude Ulaanbaator Beijing Any advice would be much appreciated as none of us know a great deal about the region. We are all in our 20's and fairly active so we shouldn't be restricted. Also, as we will inevitably be staying overnight at various stops, recommendations of places to stay would be great Thanks, Neil

I have just done the journey but with no stops. I also think that you will have to book using lots of trains along the way which is not always easy. Good luck
