Silk Route
Overview
THE NEXT RUNNING OF THE SILK ROUTE BICYCLE EXPEDITION WILL BE IN 2012.
The Silk Route has been selected as one of National Geographic Traveler's 50 Top Tours of a Lifetime.
From National Geographic themselves... The selection process was competitive and our editorial team worked long and hard to find 2010’s most authentic, most innovative, most immersive, best-guided, and most sustainable tours. “The outfitters we selected have responded to travelers looking for more meaning and context,” notes senior editor Norie Quintos, who headed up the project. “And beyond guiding you to the destination, they’ve also found novel ways to give back.”
The Silk Road has beckoned seekers of truth and adventure since time immemorial. Now you have the opportunity to discover the magic of the world’s most famous trade route from the best seat in the house – your bicycle. As part of a group of free-spirited cyclists, you will follow in the footsteps of Alexander the Great, Marco Polo and Genghis Khan. Like them, your passage across the vast Asian continent will depend on sheer muscle and determination, a sound body and an open mind. Learn more »
