What's included in the Price?
The package includes all transport, accommodations in twin rooms, meals, and entrance fees to historical sites. Please note that alcoholic drinks, tips, potential visas, and personal items such as travel insurance are not included.
Clothing - What to pack?
Our journey along the Silk Road is thoughtfully timed to coincide with the mild, pleasant weather of spring or fall. We recommend wearing comfortable, durable walking boots, perfect for long days of exploration. For sun protection, it’s best to avoid shorts, as the region adheres to conservative dress norms. However, in the cities, modern, Western-style clothing is common. In the evenings and for dinner, smart attire is recommended. To ensure your comfort throughout, all hotels provide 24-hour laundry services.
