Head to https://www.squarespace.com/mattandjulia to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code 'mattandjulia' 5 days on a train across Russia to the coldest city on earth, Yakutsk, Yakutia (Sakha Republic). An experience we will never forget, for being both tough, interesting, beautiful & scary in equal measure. Join us as we travel on the trans-siberian railway, east, across Siberia towards the Russian Far East, passing through the cities of Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Ulan Ude and Chita, as well as the beautiful Lake Baikal. Then turn north, on the Yakutsk-Amur line, built on the permafrost, towards Yakutsk, the worlds coldest city, in January! A long train journey in 3rd class is like watching a constant conveyor belt of people getting on and off, heading both home and to work in various parts of the country. In our opinion, traveling on trains like this is one of the best ways you can travel and although incredibly tough, the landscapes you get to see and the people you get to meet make for memories you will never forget. - Join this channel to become a member and get access to these perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnrHlFu6ZueDosGPt9R3nHw/join ❤️ - Support our channel HERE 😊 - https://patreon.com/mattandjulia https://buymeacoffee.com/mattandjulia - Our Travel Gear - https://www.mattandjulia.co.uk/our-gear - We get all of our music for our vlogs from Epidemic Sound - 30 DAYS FREE HERE - https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/5kn86h/ - We make all of our thumbnails HERE - https://partner.canva.com/c/2604310/647168/10068 - For business enquiries - [email protected] You can also, find us here: WEBSITE: https://mattandjulia.co.uk INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/julia.chernogorova PATREON: https://patreon.com/mattandjulia BUYMEACOFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mattandjulia TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattandjuliatravel YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/mattandjulia TWITTER: https://www.twitter.com/Matt_and_Julia 🎵 Music: All the music in this video comes from here: http://share.epidemicsound.com/freemusic - 5 Days on a Train across Russia to the World's Coldest City (it was hell) - #travel #train #russia #yakutsk #yakutia #sakha #winter #travelvlog - CHAPTERS 00:00 What on earth are we doing?! 00:47 Day 1 - Welcome on board 06:46 Day 2 - Don't go to this restaurant 16:48 Day 3 - We've hit the wall 20:51 Day 3.5 - Changing trains 23:51 Day 4 - Insane views (the home straight) 28:24 Day 5 - FINALLY THERE? 31:54 Day 5 - Driving on a frozen river towards Yakutsk
