Am interested in travelling by rail from Istanbul to Dacca. Please, what guides or books would be of use? Are there economy passes or such programmes such as there are in Europe? Where would one have to take bus? How is the route from the Russian Caucasus via the 'stans? Have any of you ever done anything like this?
I understand Danziger did a trek 'back in the days.' Who else is noted for having trekked or done a walk, or gone hitch-hiking, say, from Istanbul through Asia to the coast of India?
How much is the boat fare from the Gulf States? How much from the African coastal ports?
If you are going from Thailand, where could you most cheaply depart or embark?
If you are going from China, what are the best ways?
Thank you & have a nice day.
