A dish introduced speculiarly owned on the silk road, Camel Hoof on Jokul, which gained its name for the shape that is like camel prints on the Jokul. It is a known fact that the camel is the most important means of transportation along the ancient Silk Road. They can travel across the arid desert for great distances, aided by their four broad feet. Camel Hoof is actually tendon, and is highly nutritious. People hardly ever kill camels, and with its long life span, the hoof is difficult to find, and is almost as precious as bear palm.

Heres an excellent suggestion.

Get a mountain bike and cycle from one end of the Great Wall to the other end at the sea.

My friends did it and survived. Awesome experience.

Some parts are so badly destroyed by weather, that u have no choice but to carry your bike across.

But if u wanna do something extreme, try this!

Be prepared for road hazards which are fairly normal in North Pakistan on the Karakoram Highway and in Kyrgyzstan - i.e. punctures landslides etc. Usually these are only an inconvenience and nothing to worry about but occasionally can be more disruptive as happened when the road was washed away with the recent floods. Even then our guides and tour leader did everything possible to get us safely on our way and to make sure everyone was OK. We really appreciated that!
