Are there any tool/sites I can use to plan my route?
I am planning to ride to Moscow next year from Calcutta, India.
I am not able to figure out which route I should take. I heard that you have to go via Myanmar, China, Mongolia and finally Russia.
Is there any tool/site I can use to plan my route (like GoogleMaps)?

The train border crossing from Mongolia into Irkutsk can be difficult without some knowledge of Russian, but from Irkutsk it's a single train in to Moscow and tools are not necessary.

Or, if you are willing to travel parts by road, not train, you can go the other way around, via Myanmar to China.

I didn't met any universal generic solution for a train trip, unless much powerfull than Google maps. But if you need some specific info about Russian trains, here we go.
Most popular travel site to planning a trip is tutu.ru (in Russian), where you can find a first version of your trip via bus, train or plane. However, in English there is on Trains part of it.
For example, you can find a complete schedule for trains between Moscow and Irkutsk, with a complete route and station schedule for each of them (e.g., this is a google map for train Route 003З Beijing → Moscow). This is a good start for finding a train operating over Russia, yet still not a perfect planning tool as it barely knows something outside the Russia.
Other thing that you can give a try is a RZD official site, main carrier in trains industry in Russia. There you can find a lowest prices for tickets, but the problem with planning outside the Russia persists. Other popular choice is OZON, but it's an reseller and have their site only in Russian.
PS: A couple of years ago I asked a question regarding such tool for whole Europe, you can investigate that too, maybe those sites know something about Asia trains too.
