I am thinking the better part of a year and I am also betting that it happened very rarely.
For most of its history the Silk Road was more theoretical. No one merchant travelled it. Instead if I undersand it right it was a series of middle men who sold merchandise along the way til it went from East to West.
What has always made me wonder is other than money what went West on the Silk Road? Or did Western Civ have nothing that really interested the Eastern world?
