Alexander the Great made long ago campaigns into the Middle East and Asia.

In the 13th century Marco Polo made trips from Europe to China and to the Far East via the Northern Silkroad.

In the 20th century it were hippies that went overland to India via the so called "hippie trail" or the southern silkroad.
