Overland Silk Road: 2 years 70000 Km solo road trip in our van from Europe to Japan and back
A road trip that proved much more challenging than we expected.
This short movie will give you a taste of what we have been through.
Our goal was to visit as many remote places as possible and spend time with locals as much as we could to learn about what they have been through in the past and the way they live nowadays. It’s been an incredibly enriching experience.
We ended up driving and living around the following nations:
Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia And Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Kurdistan, Abkhazia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Artsakh Republic (Nagorno-Karabakh), Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Siberia, Korea, Japan, Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Buryatia Republic, Mongolia, Altai Republic, Bashkortostan, Tatarstan, Kalmykia, Chechen Republic, Dagestan, Nakhchivan Republic, Romania, Ukraine, Transnistria, Moldova, Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Luxembourg, France.
Main challenges have been: Cancelled visas, some countries with date-specific visas forcing us to be at a border on a specific day and therefore having to kind of plan our whole trip backwards, rough off-road tracks in remote areas, harsh climate ranging from +47c in Iran to -27c in Siberia. Seasons were also an important factor, even though it is not possible to be in every spot at the best time of the year, seasons can definitively enlighten or ruin your trip!

Journey Along the Silk Road: The Tapestry of Trade, Culture, and Connection
In 1986, Liu Shiming was inspired by the Silk Road, a trade route that connected Eastern and Western cultures, to craft this sculpture. The piece showcases the simplicity and rusticity characteristic of Liu Shiming's style. The clay surface is hand-carved with patterns, echoing the historical imprints formed by nature over thousands of years. This sculpture embodies the remarkable history of the Silk Road, representing not merely a trade route but also a bridge between civilizations. Now, the artwork found its permanent home at the American University in Cairo, a city with significant historical and cultural ties to the Silk Road, standing prominently on the public lawn of the campus library.

But as you know Ghuranchandi is always in search of new places and offbeat routes, we didn't stop at Gnathang. We covered onwards ... Old Baba Mandir, Kupup Lake, Tsangu Lake, Thangu Lake, New Baba Mandir, Nathula Pass and instead of returning back we travelled ahead to Gangtok.
