We've been cycling the Pamir Highway

We've spent the last 5 weeks cycling around Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in Central Asia. They're amazing countries - sort of a cross between Mongolia/Nepal and Afghanistan. Yurts everywhere in Kyrgyzstan and not much at all in Tajikistan.

Here's a slideshow of the whole route from Osh to Khorog (and back)
If you pause the slideshow and press F11 for Full Screen and click on the (i) in the middle of any photo there is a full description of what it shows.



We'd read about some roads that are worth cycling and the Pamir stood out - there's also the Karakoram highway and the Friendship Highway in Tibet but this looked really exciting - 750km long, camp where you want, nobody lives there and mostly above 4000m!

The road joins Osh in Kyrgyzstan with Khorog in Tajikistan.
