We incorporate sections of the ancient Silk trading route with our own modern day Silk Routes as we exchange cultures & experiences rather than Silk goods!

With up to 16 Countries to cross the logistics on these trips are immense. For China alone we have a raft of paperwork including clearance from ministry level in Beijing, entry permits for each Province, permission from Police & tourism authorities, army clearance, customs agents for entry & exit formalities as well as all hotel bookings, plus arranging a Chinese driving license for everyone once we arrive in China.
