    About this ebook

    The Global Traveller Series inspires to explore the world and undertake cultural journeys, so that you become a Global Traveller as well.

    '20,000 km by Train' describes the extraordinary adventures of an overland train journey from Zurich to Shanghai: 285 hours and 20,000 km by train from Zurich to Paris, Moscow, Beijing, Lhasa and Shanghai. It includes the 6-day non-stop train on the Trans-Mongolia Express, as well as the pressurised train (like an airplane) on the Lhasa Express route. The book further includes the adventures during an 8-day tour in Tibet to visit many Buddhist monasteries, as well as the Everest Base Camp at 5,200m.

    This travel journal:
    -describes the adventures in a slow long-haul means of transportation.
    -covers topics that the travel agents don’t know about.
    -shares key organisational and spiritual insights from this journey.
    -visualises the adventures through many pictures
