Take an unforgettable journey along the ancient Silk Route, where trade, culture, and medicine once flowed between East and West.
From Baku's flame towers and fire-worshipping shrines to Georgia's monastery-studded mountains and on to Armenia, the world's first Christian nation. This is a region shaped by Persian, Russian and Ottoman influence, where caravanserais once sheltered Silk Road traders and vineyards now cling to valleys beneath the Caucasus peaks.
Meet local doctors and folk healers, sample wine from the birthplace of viticulture, and hear sacred chanting echo through rock-hewn churches. Along the way, savour home-cooked feasts, brandy tastings and the haunting sound of the duduk.
