"Looking back it is difficult to put into words, two and a half months of life changing experiences"

"I am just fortunate to be one of the few people who have travelled this route. I had more adventures in Kazakhstan alone than in a life time of riding"

Silk Routes

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 19 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.
