About North Asia Guide

North Asia Guide covers the vast northern reaches of Asia: Mongolia and Asian Russia — Siberia, Lake Baikal and the Russian Far East. These are places defined by distance, climate and remarkable cultures.

Our approach

We write practical guides about landscapes, seasons, travel logistics and respectful travel with nomadic and indigenous communities. Because conditions in parts of the region change quickly, we always point you to your own government's travel advice.

A note on Russia

Many governments currently advise against travel to Russia, and practical issues — from payment cards to consular support — affect visitors from many countries. Our articles about Siberia describe places and seasons; they are not a recommendation to travel against official advice.

Independence

We don't sell tours or accept payment for coverage. If you spot outdated information, please contact us.
