Central Asia Pamir Highway

During this motorbiketrip we will  cross three unknown countries in Central Asia. Each and every one of these countries is very different. The highlight of our trip is  the Pamir Highway in Tajikistan.

We will start our journey in the second city of Kyrgyzstan Osh. The majority of this country consists of beautiful rolling hills. Hotels are limited here and we regularly sleep in a small guesthouse, Yurkamp or in people's homes. One does not encounter many tourists in this empty desert country populated by extremely hospitable locals. After Osh, we cross the border into Uzbekistan. This is mainly a flat country, however it has wonderful ancient silk road cities. From Samarkand you will visit the great Registan.

Tadjikistan is mostly mountains. Here we are driving on the famous Pamir Highway, far above the tree-line. This highway was originally built by the Russians as a defence line against the advancing British colonial troops from the south. The highway runs along the border with Afghanistan through one of the most rugged and most remote regions on earth. Choice in accommodation is limited in this part of the country.

This is a reasonably unique and challenging motorbiketrip to one of the last remaining mysteries of nature on earth!
