THE SILK ROAD TO SAMARKAND

BBC Home Service
on BBC Home Service Basic

by Mir S. Khan
Not really a road-more of a track, nearly 2,000 miles long, sometimes obliterated by floods, twisting round great mountains, edged by enormous precipices, and crossing arid deserts.
Mir S. Khan describes his journey on horseback to visit the ' fabled cities ' of Samarkand and Bokhara.
