Osh to Dushanbe Pamir Highway Tour Through the Wakhan Valley

Embark on an unforgettable Pamir Highway tour from Osh to Dushanbe, traversing the legendary Pamir Highway through the breathtaking Wakhan Valley. This 7-day group jeep tour takes you through some of Central Asia’s most stunning landscapes, from the high-altitude deserts of Murghab to the lush valleys of Khorog and the remote beauty of Jizeu village.

Begin your journey in Osh, Kyrgyzstan, crossing into Tajikistan to witness the surreal Karakul Lake, formed within a meteor impact crater. Drive along the Pamir Highway, traversing the Hushang Pass (4,655m), formerly known as the Ak-Baital Pass —one of the world’s highest roads. Marvel at the stark, lunar-like terrain of Murghab before heading to Bulunkul, the coldest inhabited place in the Pamirs.

Venture into the Wakhan Valley, where history and nature merge. Explore ancient petroglyphs in Langar, the Buddhist stupa in Vrang, and the Sufi Muborak-Kadami Vakhani Museum. Soak in the Bibi Fatima hot spring and visit Yamchun Fortress, a testament to the region’s rich history.

As you travel along the Panj River, witness Afghanistan’s remote villages, with mud-brick houses, people moving along the trails, and donkeys carrying goods. The river marks the natural border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan, offering a rare glimpse into the everyday life of Afghan communities against the backdrop of breathtaking mountain landscapes.

Discover Khorog, the vibrant heart of GBAO, and trek to Jizeu Village, an untouched paradise hidden in the Bartang Valley. Continue through Kalai Khumb, following the dramatic Panj River, before concluding your journey in Dushanbe, Tajikistan’s capital.
