Gobi Desert
Vast, rippling sand dunes and rocky terrain of the southern Mongolian and northern Chinese border.
Altai Mountains
Spectacular snow-capped peaks where the borders of China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and Russia converge.
West Siberian Taiga
An endless carpet of deep green coniferous forests and winding river systems.
Ural Mountains
The historic and geological dividing line between the Asian and European continents.
The right side is ideal for daylight flights to capture the contrasting colors of the Gobi Desert and the dense Siberian forests. Watch for the Ural Mountains approximately 90 to 120 minutes before landing in Moscow for a true cross-continental milestone.
