The ancient Silk Route comes alive as we retrace the footsteps of great travelers and conquerors through Pakistan and beyond. In 1966, Pakistan and China revived this legendary path by constructing the Karakoram Highway (KKH), opening a gateway across the mighty mountains. Though the modern road does not follow the exact trail, it traverses the same regions once crossed by Alexander the Great, Marco Polo, Genghis Khan, and Tamerlane.
Today, travelers can experience breathtaking scenery, vibrant cultures, and historic landmarks along this legendary route. With Central Asia now open to tourism, the Silk Route oases of Uzbekistan and beyond are easily accessible extensions of the journey. The KKH and Silk Route together form one of the world’s most epic travel experiences, blending history, adventure, and natural beauty. To make it even more special, itineraries can be customized, allowing you to choose the destinations that inspire you most.
