It&#8217;s a big commitment. Basically Overland means a few weeks (or a few months) traversing a continent. You travel in a purpose built vehicle with up to 20\u00a0fellow passengers, camp in the wild, explore remote mountain valleys and visit places regular tourists will never see in a million years. It&#8217;s not a travel style for the faint of heart, but the rewards are huge. There aren&#8217;t many things left in the world that can be called a genuine Adventure, but this is one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Our Overland trips are run through our sister company, Dragoman. The video below was taken on their <a href=\"\/china\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silk Road trip<\/a>, a massive 96-day journey that passes through\u00a0China, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, the Caspian sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey.
