Tajikistan Expedition: Pamir Highway & beyond

Tajikistan Expedition: Pamir Highway & beyond
Journey through the remote Pamir Mountains and along the Afghan border
The Pamir Highway: Central Asia’s greatest road adventure in Tajikistan. Travelling in 4x4s, we follow this rugged mountainous route through the remote Pamir range, discovering an area along the Afghan border, much of the time alongside the Panj River, that only the most adventurous ever explore. On the way, we visit the ruins of Zoroastrian castles and shrines and see a Buddhist stupa. We head off the main highway to go even deeper into the country, encountering lands where the language changes from one valley to the next. To make sure we see as much as possible, we’ve designed our tour to roughly follow a figure of eight, meaning we mostly avoid retracing our steps.
