I follow this site for a while and actually thought about doing the Trans-Siberian road from Moscow to Siberia (Around 9000 KM) and it's by far the longest railway line in the world.
The reasons I didn't went to it was because I couldn't see my self sitting for so many hours a day.
But I guess my destiny was different than I expected.
A few months ago I got an offer to participate in a 22,000KM journey called the 'Mongol Rally' which is basically a race when you need to drive from the Czech Republic to Mongolia in a shitty car.
Joining this race meant sitting in a car for at least 14 hours a day
I agreed to the offer without thinking twice
and after I finish it, doing the Trans-Siberian road looks like a piece of cake
- msl 7y agoOne nice thing about trains is that you don't need to just sit: there is a lot of room to move about. Also, the trains you use on the Trans-Siberian route stop all the time, often for half an hour or longer at a time, so you can get off the train for some proper exercise. Still, I would not recommend doing the trip on one go: 24 hours is just about long enough stretch to spend onboard any train. There are a lot of cities worth visiting along the way.
- Yuval_Halevi 7y agoThe train do stop but the amount of stops depends on how long you can go for your trip In my case I had only 6 weeks for the Mongol Rally so we drove every day 14 hours in the car I'm not sure how long it takes to do the Trans-Siberian route, but if I will do it I will make sure I have enough time to have few days in nice places along the way.
