Kazakhstan and northern China VS Siberia and Mongolia How about a round trip? Make it a true overland adventure (no flying back) and no backtracking. Either way looks like an interesting trip that deserves a topic of its own, hope someone can contribute with more useful info on this one.

Have a look on their website for details. | I did the Trans Mongolian with them last year and they were really good value. It was a bit more pricey than organising it myself but having now experienced the hassles involved - even for the locals - I was glad I paid the extra and was able to enjoy myself and let someone else do the worrying for a change.
