Tajikistan Pamir Highway

This journey goes through three unknown countries in Central Asia. And each of these countries is different. The literal highlight of this trip is the Pamir Highway in Tajikistan.

We start the journey in Kyrgyzstan's second city, Osh. Most of this country has breathtaking mountain scenery. Tourism is still little here. We spend the night in a small guesthouse, in a Yurt camp, or at people's homes. After Osh, we cross the border to Uzbekistan. This is a mostly flat country but has beautiful old Silk Road towns. From Samarkand, you can visit the great Registan.

Tajikistan is mainly high mountains. Here we drive the Pamir Highway, which is far above the tree line. The landscape here is barren and rugged and accommodation options are basic. This road runs along the border with Afghanistan through one of the roughest and most remote areas on earth.
