Silk was first cultivated in China around 2600BC, but it took 2.5 millennia for it to spread west. The journeys west by China’s emissary Zhang Qiang, in the 2nd century BC, brought the Chinese Han Dynasty into political contact with many kingdoms of Central Asia, and hence opened up the great East-West trade route, now known as the Silk Road.

Now Travel Masters combines the Great Silk Road with Central Asia's Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan to bring you the ultimate in an incredibly different and exotic holiday.
