Tour Overview
Perhaps the most popular of all the jeep routes in Tajikistan is the Pamir Highway M41, equally be loved of cyclists (at least on the downhill stretches). Two branches of the road snake south and east from Dushanbe, one considerably more developed than the other, before meeting again at Darvaz, where lively riverside cafes hang out across the water. For much of the journey, the road hugs the Panj – the mighty River Oxus of antiquity – and Afghanistan is just a stone’s throw away, yet always out of reach. Your fellow road users – the Chinese truck drivers bringing in imported goods, and shepherds on foot driving their flocks of sheep and goats – reveal two very different sides of modern Tajikistan that nevertheless exist in parallel. Highlights of the road, which demands ten days of your time to see it in full, include the cosmopolitan town of Khorog with its suspension bridges, Afghan market, botanical garden and parks; ruby mines and naturally hot spring baths; groves of fruit trees amidst a patchwork of irrigated fields; and the stark and isolated, yet unforgettably beautiful, Murghab Plateau, where only nomads roam. The Pamir Highway grants visitors access to the Tajkistan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to the wildlife and ancient archaeological remains of the Wakhan Corridor, and ultimately to neighbouring Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan. In a single day you can wind your way through high-altitude deserts, empty plains, and lush green meadows, frequently scattered with wildflowers. Rare birds of prey circle high above the road, and now and then a marmot, mountain fox or deer strays into view.
