Tours of Chinese Silk Road
 Chinese Silk Road Taklamakan Adventure 18 days
from £3250 excl. flights*   The Silk Road has long passed into lore and legend. Connecting China with the unknown lands to the west, it once spanned great swathes of Central Asia, crossing nearly 6,500 kilometres of burning deserts and high mountain passes. This exceptional adventure takes us through some of the most culturally and geographically diverse landscapes along the Chinese section of the Silk Road; travelling through the harsh Taklamakan Desert to pick up both the more regularly travelled northern route, as well as the less travelled southern section. We’ll begin in Xian, home to the fabulous Terracotta Warriors and the easternmost point of the Silk Road, before moving on to explore the ancient cities that lay along its course. Along the way we will visit Tibetan Monasteries and ancient ruins, take in the Great Wall at Jiayuguan and explore the ancient Buddhist caves at Dunhuang and Kuqa. Crossing part of the Taklamakan Desert we then head for the southern trading centre of Khotan where we have a chance to enjoy its wonderfully chaotic and authentic Sunday market before heading to fabled Kashgar – the meeting point of both northern & southern routes - and the end of this remarkable odyssey. |
