Do you want to ride a motorcycle on the "roof of the world"? Welcome to the Pamir motorcycle tour in Tajikistan! Tajikistan is the smallest country in Central Asia, but it has the most amazing high mountains and truly hospitable people. To see the Pamir region was until recently almost impossible because most of the Pamir was a closed border zone but now the Pamir is open and you have a truly unique opportunity to touch the silent valleys and mighty mountains including many breathtaking passes along the legendary Pamir Highway (M41)!
Throughout the tour, you will stay in twin room in hotel (five nights), guesthouse (six nights), and tent (one night).
On your reliable motorcycles, you will travel along the Afghan border and see the beautiful Wakhan valley. You will climb “Ak Baital” the highest pass (4665 meters) in Central Asia. You will bathe in the Bibi Fatima Zohra holy hot springs and visit the brightly colored Fann Mountains where you will spend the night in a tent under a star filled sky in the fresh, clean air at "Alaudin International Mountaineering Tourist Center” (IMTC) and much more.
Other accommodation will be varied using guesthouses and hotels but always with your comfort in mind. The pristine lakes and mountain streams within the mountains and valleys will have your cameras clicking to keep the memories of this unforgettable tour.
You will truly enjoy this unique and incredible country and its friendly people many of whom will be going about daily chores using simple equipment and donkeys. There is no better way to experience this beautiful pristine country than by motorcycle!
