Silk Road Cities 2014 – Uzbekistan
Dates : 18th – 30th October 2014
£1450
Uzbekistan epitomises the silk road. Empty desert highways and isolated oasis cities that stand as a reminder of the days of Timur, when half of Asia was ruled from Central Asia. On this trip, we visit three of the best preserved cities on the silk road as well as getting a feeling for what life is like in post-soviet Central Asia.
Afghanistan Horse Trek – Riding the Wakhan
Dates: 18th August – 8th September 2014
£3000
In the summer of 2014 we will be heading out to one of world’s most remote corners. A 22-day odyssey to meet and live with one of the world’s last and least visited nomadic cultures: The Kyrgyz of the Afghan Pamir. We will begin and end in Tajikistan’s capital Dushanbe travelling along the dramatic Pamir highway before crossing over into Afghanistan, passing through the Wakhan Corridor into the Afghan Pamir. From here we will meet our horses. What better way to explore Chaqmaqtin Lake and the surrounding area than on horse back.
