Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1: Dushanbe, Tajikistan to Kalaikhum, Tajikistan

Today we will drive to Kalai Khum village. You will see the Norak water reservoir that is called the Tajik Sea. The highest point of the day is the Shurabad pass (2 267 m) and after a drive along with Afghanistan, the border starts. This part will amaze you by its unique mountains – it is already the Territory of Pamir Mountains. Over the centuries, the Pamirs have inspired the world’s greatest explorers – Marco Polo, Hsuan Tsang, Mirza Muhammad Haidar. And now you also have a chance to travel here. You will drive along the natural border – the Pyanj River. Having visited the Pamirs, many travellers called this giant mountain system the ocean of white and blue mountains.

Day 2: Kalaikhum, Tajikistan to Khorog, Tajikistan

In the morning we will drive to Khrorog. It is perhaps one of the tiniest cities on the map of the world. It is surrounded by rocky mountains from all four sides. The town was built on the confluence of the 3 rivers where Shokhdara river and Ghund river flow into Pyanj river. On the way to Khorog you will meet Pamir people. A number of anthropological features set the Pamir people apart from the Tajik people. Among the Pamiris, there is a high percentage of people with blonde hair, fair skin and blue eyes. Pamirs Mountains are the highest mountains in the world with a human population after the Himalayas in Tibet. Life in the mountains made traditions of local people different from Tajik people.
