Why You'll Love This Trip

  • Hike into Jizeu — a hidden village with no road access at all.
  • Explore ancient Wakhan fortresses and soak in the Bibi Fatima hot springs.
  • Summit Peak Mahan (4,400 m) with views over Yashylkul and Bulunkul lakes.
  • Live alongside yak herders and see centuries-old Pamiri traditions up close.
  • Trek to the glaciers of 7,134 m Lenin Peak before your final descent to Osh.

Itinerary

Leave the Tajik capital behind and head for Kalaikhum, stopping at the 11th-century Hulbuk Palace on the way. Beyond the Shurobod Pass the road plunges into spectacular valleys as the true Pamirs begin. In Kalaikhum you'll meet the Panj River — your companion for the next few days — with your first glimpse of Afghanistan across the water.
