Country by Country Information Bank

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I, I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference!"

Robert Frost

In order to help you prepare travels to any or all of the countries that lie along the Silk Road we have, with the help of our members, prepared a country by country guide. In this information bank you will find country statistics, travel advice, hints and tips for making your stay pleasant and useful contacts. It is a work in progress and we encourage members to contact us with their experiences to help build this resource.

Members should visit the forum for up to date information as this resource is not due for completion until 2007 when full and accurate information will have been gathered. Most countries below have basic information and some have extended travel info but not all.

Please note these pages are for members only. Where a country profile is not available, you will be linked to the relevant page on the CIA World Factbook.

Maps and some factual information provided by CIA World Factbook, travel tips and remaining information kindly provided by members of the Silk Road Society.

Whilst the authors and the Silk Road Society UK have taken all reasonable care in preparing the following country information pages, we make no warranty about the accuracy or completeness of their content and, to the maximum extent permitted, disclaim all liability arising from the use of the infromation contained on the pages linked to above.
