Why You'll Love This Trip

  • Sleep in the roadless village of Jizeu — one of the Pamirs' best-kept secrets
  • Soak in Bibi Fatima hot springs beneath the ancient Yamchun Fortress
  • Trek to Mahan Peak (4,400m) over the Yashilkul and Bulunkul lakes
  • Cross Ak-Baital Pass, the Pamir Highway's highest point at 4,655m
  • Drive within sight of Afghanistan along the Panj River in the Wakhan Valley

Itinerary

Leave Osh behind and climb to Taldyk Pass (3,600m), where yaks graze on endless green pastures. After lunch in Sary-Tash, continue to Tulpar-Kul Lake at 3,500m, right at the foot of mighty Lenin Peak.
