Pamir Highway: Osh & the Roof of the World (6 Days)
Designed, curated and operated by This is Kyrgyzstan — an experience you'll only find here, quality we stand behind.
Overview
The Pamir Highway is one of the great overland journeys on Earth, and it begins in Osh. This six-day 4WD expedition climbs the M41 south from the ancient Silk Road city, over high passes into the vast Alay Valley, with the white wall of the Trans-Alay range — crowned by 7,134-metre Lenin Peak — filling the horizon. You stay with Kyrgyz families in Sary-Mogol, ride out to the meadows and lakes of Tulpar-Köl below the base camp, and can continue to the Tajik border. We handle the 4WD, the drivers who know the road, the homestays and every meal, so you can just watch the roof of Central Asia unroll. Optional onward crossing into Tajikistan's Pamirs.
