Journey across three of Asia’s most legendary travel routes in this epic Extra Long Documentary. Discover the ancient Grand Trunk Road, which has linked the Indian subcontinent for more than 2,000 years, from the mangrove forests of the Bay of Bengal to the sacred Ganges, Bodh Gaya and the vibrant streets of Kolkata during Durga Puja. A different angle takes you high into Central Asia along the Pamir Highway, one of the world’s highest roads, where breathtaking mountain passes, Silk Road history and remote nomadic communities reveal an unforgettable side of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
The journey continues through the ancient heart of Persia and the Silk Road, from Isfahan and Yazd to the legendary city of Samarkand. Along the way, discover Zoroastrian fire temples, Sufi traditions, Nowruz celebrations, spectacular deserts and towering mountain landscapes while meeting the remarkable people who keep these ancient cultures alive.
