About
For centuries Westerners have been intrigued by the Silk Road, which was the first connection between the East and the West, conveying goods, knowledge, and messages of peace and war across Eurasia. Traders’ camel caravans – laden with silk, tea, porcelain, and other goods from China and other parts of Asia – made their way westwards to the Middle East. From there, goods were taken on by sea and other forms of transportation to Europe and beyond. Crossing vast open plains, mysterious deserts, high mountain passes, and foreign – sometimes hostile – territories, these traders put their lives in the hands of the gods, hoping to bring prosperity to their families. We shall explore these ancient trade routes the old way – overland. Starting from Xi’an, the then Chinese capital, we travel all the way to Kashgar in the far west near the borders with central Asian republics, meeting different cultures and religions, and exploring the diversified landscapes of this remote region.

Every aspect of the tour was meticulously planned and executed. Highly recommend!Written August 31, 2024
- haimw0 contributionsExcellent experienceTrip@Asia is highly recommended. We already had two trips with them in China and we were always very satisfied. They worked with us to design our ideal itinerary and booked our transportation and hotel arrangements. The hotels were of high standard. Their tour guides are fluent in English, friendly, and full of knowledge. Their drivers are always on time and drive safely, and in comfortable cars. We will surely book our next trip to Asia with them.Written February 10, 2024

- yishaiav20230 contributionsAn Amazing tour to TaiwanWe've finished few days ago a comprehensive tour in Taiwan (13 days, 8 people) which was specially prepared for our group by Ron Oren, the owner & CEO of Trips@ Asia. Our requests were to be enriched with contents such as - museums, temples, culinary, etc. as well wild nature that should be involved with intensive walking. We returned back excited!! For every aspect of the tour - places that had been chosen, hotels, some of them were quite unique & all the others highest grade, AC bus that had followed us fm the 1st day till the end, and an excellent tourist guide that have opened us a window to any aspects of Taiwan, we've requested him - history, policy, education, economic, family relationships etc. and experiencing the wild nature have widen our breathing & our soul. We came to Taiwan without knowledge or expectations & came back as lovers of Taiwan. All those couldn't be achieved without an excellent planning & execution by Ron Oren & his team. It's a 10 marks organized tour. No doubt, we'll meet Ron's tours in the future & we recommend all our friends who're planning to visit South-Asia to get Trips@Asia service.Written April 10, 2023
- carmishlomo20 contributionsA comprehensive visit in TaiwanWe were a group of 8 (4 couples), travelling during 13 days in all Taiwan, a trip which was organized by Trips@Asia. Our satisfaction was high due to the high level of organizing and the local guide, Joe Huang, which speaks in fluent English. The accommodation was in very good hotels. So, if you plan a visit in Taiwan, I should recommend you to choose Trips@Asia, managed by Ron Oren in order to ensure the success of your visit. Shlomo Carmi ISRAELWritten April 6, 2023
- 1Paulaner0 contributionsTrip to the nine holy mountains in ChinaWe just came back from a three week trip to China‘s 9 holy mountains. What a trip - temples, mountains, cities, natural beauty and most of all nice people. Ron Oren and his team developed a individual program for my wife and myself that was exceptional in all regards.

- 302verat0 contributionsHighly recommendMy wife and I are retired from Israel. We and another couple of friends were interested in a two-week trip to Mongolia, Lake Baikal (Siberia) and Kazan (Russia). I got a recommendation on Trips@Asia, contacted Ron Oren, Founder & CEO of the company and asked for an offer for the trip. After a few days, I received a detailed offer for a trip that included flight schedules, day-to-day itineraries and accommodations. We liked the trip offer, we made a reservation and in early August we went on the trip. The trip was amazing and beyond all our expectations. At every airport we landed, a local guide with a car and driver was waiting for us, the accommodations were excellent, the local guides who were all qualified were knowledgeable and spoke good English and the excursions and sites we visited were perfect. Thanks to Ron for the amazing trip and I highly recommend anyone interested in a private trip to East Asian regions to book the trip with Trips@Asia.
