Read this document on Scribd: Russia to Kazakhstan border crossing - Rubshovsk to Semey
km 0 8 28 34 40 Russia to Kazakhstan Border – Beseloyarsk to Semey Main square – Rubshovsk (Руьшовск) Edge of town – best to follow the road near the train station (one road further West than the main road from the Hotel and the square with Lenin) Веселоярск - village begins – shop on right (this is the name of the border) Village finishes and road heads out into the country Border starts near the forest – pick up the Time/Transit ticket from the first kiosk behind the barrier – show them your passport. When they let a few of you through go to the immigration block 100m further on (nearest door) Show them your registration and card in your passport. Very simple if the documents are right Kazakh customs – bit of a drag if a bus arrives – they all get put to the front of the queue and you wait forever. Kazakhstan!!! Restaurant and petrol station Lake with water – plenty of places to camp Dmitrievka -shops and shashlik stall Forest close to road – camping spots if you have water Forest stops being close to road (deep sand prevents you heading off to it when it is further away) Rows of trees – places to camp if you have water Truckstop cafe – possible rooms- - at junction Beginning of Semey (signs etc) Follow road for 3km, after 3rd train tracks turn right and you will reach the station. The mainish road is Shakarima and this heads into town (turn left when you can see the train station). From here it is a further 2km to the central area Hotel Semey – several other choices but most more expensive 40.5 41 59 70 94 104 106 115 128 156 162 This is an easy cycle but a bit far for one day so camping is kind of inevitable
