Explore the Silk Road: A Guide to Central Asia’s Historic Route
It’s pretty difficult in this day and age to discover somewhere truly untarnished by the brush of tourism.

Traverse the Great Silk Road as you stop off in storied old cities like Samarkand and Bukhara, rich in history, intertwining cultures and truly jaw-dropping feats of architecture and design. The silk that weaves these cities together is made up of epic mountain routes, serene turquoise lakes and a few exciting train rides through the expansive Central Asian countryside. Are you ready for an adventure?
