In 334 b. JC, the Macedonians started their conquering journey toward East, and returned back West 8 years later.

Let's think about those men, facing the mountains of Tajikistan, much more higher than any others they had previously seen ; discovering animal species such as monkeys so similar to them, and how terrifying should have been the fighting elephants they suddenly met.

When they reached Amritsar in India, they were 2537,79 nm away from their capital, Pella.

Each leg is composed of :

1st : The antique name of cities in italics, some of them set up by Alexander, King of Macedonia.

2nd : The nearest airport, as possible, in Flight Simulator.

Taking into account the high mountains, a single or twin engine airplane with a service ceiling of 20 000 ft is necessary.

GPS recommended
