Well, they say that they've already had thousands of inquiries.
If this works out, maybe we'll start seeing bus tours up the Alcan Highway, the Pan-Am Highway, etc.
This makes my butt hurt just thinking about it. I like to drive and have driven cross country well over a dozen times but I am always very happy to get out of the car at the end...
I am utterly astounded that anyone anywhere would be willing to be confined for any amount of time with any amount of people at this particular moment.
That said, before the pandemic I would fly round-trip anywhere from two to five or even six times a year from the Rust Belt to the west coast. Flying doesn't scare me at all, but I absolutely dread the whole experience because it is so stressful and uncomfortable. I really hate the airlines.
So if I was inclined to travel, maybe this wouldn't be so bad.
My brother-in-law would probably be pretty into it.
I can't even imagine.
I can't believe that the link does not have map. I want to see the whole route!
But then again, I'm the type who has pondered the Trans-Siberian Rail trip.

The route from Delhi goes through Myanmar, so the route is not an obvious one.
Exactly why I want to see a map!

They did not say what percentage of the people asked to be put on a list to be notified when tickets are ready for purchase and what percentage were just doing information gathering to put a 'get a load of this new craziness' post on their social media feeds.

There are shorter ways to Bishek, for sure. Maybe this is a safer route? Avoids yeti trails through the Himalayas as well as closed borders and hot wars where roads are bigger.
