The GBAO permit is required for travel to the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast (GBAO), the eastern region of Tajikistan where the Pamir Mountains and the famous Pamir Highway are located. Most travelers visiting destinations such as Khorog, Murghab, the Wakhan Valley, or the high mountain lakes of the Pamirs must obtain this permit in advance.
We assist travelers in obtaining the GBAO permit quickly and reliably, making the process easier for those planning a trip to the Pamir region.
Our team regularly arranges GBAO permits for travelers joining our tours, and we can also help independent travelers who are planning their own journey along the Pamir Highway.
The permit allows travelers to visit many of the most spectacular destinations in eastern Tajikistan, including:
-
The Pamir Highway (M41)
-
Khorog and the Wakhan Valley
-
Murghab and the Eastern Pamirs
-
Yamchun Fortress and the Wakhan Corridor
-
High-altitude lakes such as Bulunkul and Yashilkul
When you request a permit through us, we handle the application process and provide the document required for travel in the region.
For travelers joining our Pamir Highway tours, the permit can be arranged together with the tour booking to ensure all travel documents are ready before the journey begins.
Obtaining the GBAO permit in advance helps avoid delays and allows travelers to focus on enjoying the incredible landscapes and cultural experiences of the Pamir Mountains.
