Pamir 2008
Samarkand - Dushanbe - Khorog - Sary Tash - Kashgar
Tajikistan
In August and September 2008 Bine and me cycled through the stunning and beautiful
Pamir in Tadjikistan
. This was current our big
[
Back On Track Tour
]
. No doubt, this had been one of our highlight of this trip.
Approaching from the east from Bukhara, we reached
Samarkand
. After a few kilometer we arrived at the lonesome border of Tadjikistan. This was the starting point of endless up&downs. On gravelroad but stunning mountain sceneries we managed to get to
Dushanbe
- the capital of Tadjikistan. Afterwards the road did not improve, and with a lot of up and downs per day we cycled along the border to Afghanistan! From Khorog the real
Pamir Highway
starts which lead us up into the sky. Great weather, great mountains, passes up to 4.7000 meters!
Cycling over the XXX Pass we finally reached
Kirgistan
, and an awful gravel road lead the to modern
China
- to Kashgar.
