SILK ROUTE

Snow Drive
15 - 22 DEC 2019
If the idea of an extreme driving expedition stimulates your sense of adventure, look no further. We have just
the thing for you! Temperatures well below freezing point, spectacular snow-covered landscapes and 4x4
vehicles are key elements of this adventure and it is planned at an exotic destination- presenting the Silk
Route Snow Drive 2019!

Silk Route was an ancient trading route that passed through Central Asia and the destination of our adventure
is a little known nomadic country in this region named Kyrgyzstan. It is a land blessed with natural beauty and
remains untouched by the evils of mainstream tourism. In the last four years, over 150 travellers have enjoyed
our road trips in Kyrgyzstan across all climatic seasons and the Snow Drive is our end-of-the-year special, as
the country transforms into a winter wonderland during the cold months.

Our 4x4 fleet of the tried and tested Toyota 4Runner SUVs running on snow tyres will enable you to conquer
the snowy terrain. MotoRover team will lead the customer vehicles from a car in front and a back-up car with
our local team will follow the convoy to ensure everyone’s safe and on course. There will be periodical
guidance on snow driving, both before and during the journey and well-equipped mechanic and a doctor will
be on board to overcome the challenges en route.

Apart from the time spent in the car, the Silk Route Snow Drive also includes exciting winter activities and
unique experiences you will cherish forever. We have a limited number of spots on this expedition, so it’s going
to be a small group of intrepid travellers exploring an unknown land together. Seize the opportunity and sign
up before it gets sold out. End the year with an unforgettable adventure!
