Transit Russia: From visa to transit
Russia: vast landscapes and friendly locals
Russia, the largest country in the world, often evokes a sense of distance and mystery. During our trip to Central Asia we drove from Georgia through Russia to Kazakhstan. We found that exciting beforehand, because you often hear that traveling through Russia can be complicated. But afterwards it turned out that this was not necessary for anything. The border crossing went smoothly and on the way we enjoyed the peace, the endless straight roads and small villages with friendly locals.
In Kyrgyzstan we again applied for a transit visa, this time of 10 days instead of 3 days. During this drive through Russia we also visited a number of cities. We tell you about all these travel experiences in our blogs!Ā
