The Modern Silk Road
Tashkent to Xi'an by a mix of private rail, vintage aircraft and hand-picked 4×4. Sleep in yurts under Samarkand stars, wake to madrasa calls to prayer.
Every tour is private or very small group. No megabuses, no talking headsets — just a guide who lives there, a schedule that breathes, and the freedom to change it.
Tashkent to Xi'an by a mix of private rail, vintage aircraft and hand-picked 4×4. Sleep in yurts under Samarkand stars, wake to madrasa calls to prayer.
