Landforms significantly influenced the route of the Silk Road by presenting both obstacles and pathways for traders. Mountain ranges like the Himalayas and the Tian Shan created natural barriers that necessitated detours or the development of high-altitude passes. Conversely, valleys and deserts, such as the Taklamakan Desert, shaped the choice of routes by providing more accessible travel corridors. As a result, the Silk Road's pathways were adapted to navigate these geographical features, facilitating trade between diverse cultures.
The Silk Road avoids the Chagatai Khanate, the Gobi Desert, the Himalayas, and the Caspian Sea.
