Dream Routes

This journey takes us along the Grand Trunk Road, which stretches across the entire Indian subcontinent. We begin in the mangrove forests of the Bay of Bengal, moving on to Kolkata for the colourful festival Durga Puja. Further stops along the way include a Roman Catholic Church, a very important Buddhist stupa, a visit to the Bodhi Tree and the holiest Hindu place in India, the Ganges.

The Central Asian Pamir Highway has many surprises in store for its travellers. Our journey will take us some 1,300 kilometres, beginning in Tajikistan, then down the River Panj along the border with Afghanistan and on to Kyrgyzstan. Along the way we meet interesting people willing to tell us their stories.

This 3,000 kilometre journey takes us to legendary oriental metropolises. Being routes less travelled, the impressive desert and mountainous areas of Iran and Uzbekistan are a traveller's dream destination. In the desert city of Yazd we encounter places and traditions of the Persian Zoroastrian religion.
