Russia
We started our long overland journey to India and beyond by crossing from Finland into Russia.
Our plan was to cross Russia relatively fast with a few stops along the way. We traveled in Russia for 12 days in September 2019 and exited then into Kazakhstan.
Later on, when we have time from all the traveling, we will write tips and infos about overland travel in Russia on this page.
In the meanwhile, you can read all our stories from Russia below.
