About the product

Faraway railways

Step aboard Bānītis – the only narrow-gauge railway still operating in the Baltics – and embark on a two-day journey through picturesque landscapes, heritage towns, and authentic Latvian flavours.
From historic train depots and grand manors to artisanal tastings and lakeside walks, this immersive tour connects history, gastronomy, and nature in the charming Gulbene–Stāmeriena–Alūksne region.
Savour local cheese, wine, beer, homemade cakes, and even innovative freeze-dried treats — all while exploring stories of tradition, craftsmanship, and community spirit.
