I tried asking this once before, but it got lost in a sea of other threads.

I need to know what time of year caravans left Constantinople, how long it took for them to reach Samarkand and then how long to reach Beijing.  I want the courses to reflect the meals they would have in each place.  

So far, the consensus is that caravans left in late winter/early spring.

Can anyone tell me for some degree of certainty what the timeframe was?

Thanx
Morgana
