Alternative Route
If there are any political problems during our expedition they are most likely to occur in the Iran/Pakistan area. If problems do arise we will take a more northerly route through Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan to reach China. From there we will then drop down into either Pakistan or India and continue with our expedition as normal. |
