One of the most well heard of trades in history is SILK but not many people know much about it but the say some of the heaviest traffic for SILK trade routes was in the mountains of Pakistan.
SILK was one of the most expensive items in that time and only Kings/Queens and Emperors could afford it so if you could get enough silk and manage to sell it then you were lucky but so many people died trying to transport it as either they were murdered and their goods stolen or they died of exhaustion/dehydration or they simply froze to death.
Many people belive infection could've killed thousands in that trade as well.

Mecca, I know because I'm learning it in history
Since Mecca was holy site for all Arabian faiths, it was spared from the numerous tribal conflicts between Arabs throughout the Arabian Peninsula. This allowed for Mecca to see the flourishing of commerce and international trade. The religious plurality permitted in Mecca was critical for maintaining Mecca's important position along the Arabian trade routes.
Mecca developed as a center of trade due to its strategic location along trade routes. It grew in importance as the birthplace of Islam and the site of the Kaaba, a significant religious pilgrimage destination for Muslims. Over time, Mecca became a cultural, religious, and political center in the region.
