Adventure of a lifetime

In 2013, our overland driving adventure “Drive the Silk Road®” will start from Vienna, Austria on the 6th of April. Our expedition team will take 92 days to reach Hong Kong, travelling through 15 countries covering almost 20,000 Km.

Despite the great distance between Europe and Asia, merchants, pilgrims and warriors all travelled along the Silk Road from the Mediterranean region in the West to as far as China in the East. The most profound influence of all were those brought by conquering civilizations in history.

This overland journey reveals various regions along the historical and legendary Silk Road taking travellers into many unspoiled and off-the-beaten-path places. The 3-month overland expedition along the Silk Road is divided into 4 sections and participants will have the option of participating in one section, or combined sections.
