TRANS-SIBERIAN RAILWAY on A Budget - Solo Journey on the 3rd Class Coach from Moscow to Irkutsk

  • The Trans Siberian (the longest train ride in the world) had been one of my top travel goals for a long time. However, most of the information that I found and most of the people that I talked to seemed to suggest that it was too complicated to do without a tour agent. But to book with an agent would also make it too expensive for me.
    I was adamant that there must be a way around it. After some research, I proved myself right! In October 2018, I flew from Malaysia to Germany, then traveled to Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, before arriving in Russia to take the Trans-Siberian to the east.
    This is the breakdown of my expenses on the 2-week trip:
    Russian visa: MYR360
    Invitation: MYR121
    Chinese visa: MYR100
    Travel insurance: MYR83
    Bus (Vilnius - Riga): EUR9
    (Riga - Tallinn): EUR9
    (Tallinn - St. Petersburg - Moscow): EUR41
    Flight (Kuala Lumpur - Berlin): MYR800
    (Berlin - Vilnius): EUR17
    (Irkutsk - Beijing): RUB6996
    (Beijing - Kuala Lumpur): MYR400
    Train (Moscow - Irkutsk): RUB3393
    Local Transports: EUR33 + RUB482
    Food: EUR4 + RUB1769
    Accommodation: EUR15
    In Latvia, I had to spend one night in prison. You can read about it on my blog:
    ummigoeswhere.com/spending-on...
    And for those of you planning to go on the Trans Siberian, I highly recommend getting THE TRANS-SIBERIAN HANDBOOK. That's the single most useful resource I had before and during my train journey. You can check it out by clicking the link below:

    Trans Siberian ialah sebuah perjalanan kereta api yang terpanjang di dunia dan telah menjadi impian saya sejak sekian lama. Namun, menurut kebanyakan orang, perjalanan kereta api Trans Siberian ini terlalu rumit untuk dilakukan sendiri tanpa bantuan agensi pelancongan. Masalahnya, jika menggunakan agensi, harganya pula menjadi terlalu mahal bagi saya.
    Saya pasti ada cara lain. Setelah membuat carian di internet, ternyata jangkaan saya tepat. Pada bulan Oktober 2018, saya terbang dari Malaysia ke Jerman, kemudian ke Lithuania, Latvia, dan Estonia, sebelum tiba di Rusia untuk menaiki kereta api Trans-Siberian ke timur.
    Berikut adalah jumlah perbelanjaan saya sepanjang keseluruhan perjalanan yang mengambil masa lebih kurang 2 minggu:
    Visa Rusia: RM360
    Surat jemputan ke Rusia: RM121
    Visa China: RM100
    Insurans perjalanan: RM83
    Bas (Vilnius - Riga): EUR9
    (Riga - Tallinn): EUR9
    (Tallinn - St. Petersburg - Moscow): EUR41
    Penerbangan (Kuala Lumpur - Berlin): RM800
    (Berlin - Vilnius): EUR17
    (Irkutsk - Beijing): RUB6996
    (Beijing - Kuala Lumpur): MYR400
    Tren (Moscow - Irkutsk): RUB3393
    Lain-lain pengangkutan awam: EUR33 + RUB482
    Makanan: EUR4 + RUB1769
    Penginapan: EUR15
    Di Latvia, saya telah bermalam di penjara! Baca cerita penuh di link ini:

      Maybe that's because I'm not used to luxury travel. Haha! But really, I have no complaints about this train ride, except maybe, the people who kept slamming the door to the toilet. My bunk was next to that door 😆. Other than that, I really treasure the experience.

    Wowwwww! This is my dream to go to Russia and visit Siberia with the train siberian but my fellow russians were mocked at my dream they said it's impossible for young asian girl like me do a solo trip to Siberia by their train cause it's unsafe..... and then i saw this video yang sangat membantu aku untuk kembali berusaha meraih mimpiku yang lama terkubur karena rasa takut dan terlalu perduli apa kata orang...... terima kasih!!!❤❤❤ Salam dari Jakarta.

      You're absolutely right, Refa. Haters gonna hate, naysayers are gonna say no, but if you listen to them and if you think too much about danger, then you're never going to go anywhere, and that's a pretty sad way to live, in my opinion.
      Danger is everywhere, even in your home country and mine. The best we can do is to be prepared for it. I hope your dream will come true and I wish you the best for your journey.

    You are amazing traveller, travelled so long in siberian train. Your voice is sweet and clear, it is your first video today I watched.. I travelled from Moscow to St. Petersburg in July 2019 in same way.
    In my compartment , it was occupied by Chinees citizen in group, hence conversation was not possible except few occasions when english knowing girls had introduced herself from China and about group.
    You have covered many shots in short video without breaking the sequence, is also a art of editing, although you had opportunity to make several videos during this journey.
    Anyway I enjoyed well from Lucknow, India. Thanks for beautiful video.

    I guess every long distance train has that one elder lady that can eat non-stop during the entire trip even if it is a 4 day trip. My grandma was once this type of a person. I remember traveling with her on a train to the seaside (around 8 hour trip) and she always booked the seat next to the table so that the moment we enter the train, she starts taking out all kinds of food and eating all the time, and she was looking at me all the time like "hey, why aren't you eating, aren't you hungry". Like, this type of people have some irrational fear of starving to death if they do not eat anything for more then 10 minutes while on a train. And my grandma was a cool person, otherwise. She wasn't crazy.

    I would do this just for the challenge and sense of accomplishment by surviving nearly a week on a train. I've thought long about doing this as a full overland Train journey starting in Edinburgh or London and finishing in Beijing. You could also continue all the way thorugh SE asia and Finish in Singapore but would have to do some parts using buses as trains don't connect. One day i'm definately gonna get it done.

    Nice experience you had there .....Trans-Siberian Railway has always been in my bucket list. When this whole COVID-19 nightmare is over , perhaps one day , I will do it..... Ya, preparing myself ... as I also learning basic Russian.... ( I taken a keen interest in the 5 STAN countries from the pro-Soviet area in Central Asia, pretty sure some Russian will do some good.... My question of the day : Would you do it all over again?

      They say you should try reading your favorite books at different stages of your life to see how your perspective changes each time. So, that's exactly what I want to do about the Trans-Siberian -- I would do it again, but maybe later in my life and see if it affects me differently.
      I hope you'll get to experience it too post-Covid. And good luck with your Russian! 👍🏼💪🏼
