The Pamir highway
The Pamir highway is a famous mountain highway that runs along the border with Afghanistan and China, connecting Khorog in Tajikistan and Osh in Kyrgyzstan.
Most of the road passes through the territory of Tajikistan, connecting the capital of the state of Dushanbe with the main city of Gorny Badakhshan - Khorog. This part of the Pamir tract was named the Western Pamir tract. Another section of the road, which traditionally carries the largest traffic, connects Khorog with the Kyrgyz city of Osh. It was named the Eastern Pamir tract.
The Pamir Highway is a road destined to become one of the most beautiful roads in the world, because it runs through one of the most powerful and majestic mountain ranges - the Pamir. Traveling along the Pamir Highway is a real adventure, because only a few know about this amazing place, and they reach even less. This route is for those who want to go on a real trip!
The Pamir Highway is a unique attraction of Tajikistan with a length of more than 1,300 km, which connects the capital Dushanbe and the city of Osh in the south of Kyrgyzstan. The highway, which is part of the international highway M41, passes through the high-mountainous region of the Pamirs. The Pamir is a mountain system with peaks over 7000 meters, occupying most of Tajikistan, and the name of which is translated as "Roof of the World".
For the traveler, the Pamir Highway is a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the culture of the Pamir peoples, the history of the region, and the breathtaking landscapes of the rugged mountains. It is a challenging journey due to hundreds of kilometers of bad roads, harsh mountain climates, and Spartan living conditions. Of course, today the tourist infrastructure along the Pamir Highway is developing, and along the way you can stay in modest, but rather comfortable hotels and guest houses. However, it should be understood that this is a region remote from civilization, and here you will have to feel the living conditions of local residents. Although this is part of the interest in the Pamir Highway.
The Pamir Highway tour is a challenging journey that will take some effort. The trail passes at a high altitude, with the highest point of 4655 meters at the Ak-Baital pass, and acclimatization is required. The benefits of civilization in the form of the Internet, comfortable living, and a rich diet are gradually disappearing. Rocky dirt roads and crossings for 8-10 hours a day take all your strength. But all this is worth the unique atmosphere of a real adventure, where you dive into the picturesque world of the mountains. Every year, the number of tourists traveling along the Pamir Highway is growing, and today you can hear speech here in languages of the whole world. You can find out the secret of this attraction only by going personally to the Pamir Highway.
