The Siberian Express across Russia to Moscow has been described as the best train ride in the world. Maybe not anymore. The Tibetan Railway from Qinghai to Lhasa has thrown its hat in the ring. It will eventually be extended to the Nepalese border, only an hour's drive from Kathmandu. Some things you might want to think about before boarding: Price: Tibetan Railway tickets are CHEAP, ranging from US$ 49 to $180 depending on how much comfort you require and where you're coming from. A soft sleeper from Beijing, a 48 hour journey, cost only $158 in early 2007. Although a travel agency might charge more than that, the frugal can purchase a ticket directly from the station. read more travelbackpacker
