You should be able to get the Tajik Visa and the GBAO permit with evisa online
https://www.evisa.tj/index.evisa.html
Last year we had to take the northern route from Dushanbe to Kalaikhum because landslides blocked the southern route.
But if possible I would take the southern route to Kalaikhum and then the route on the Wakhan valley Iskhashim and Vrang.
I will also do this this year again.

Thanks for the reply. Is there a way to know if the southern road is open before you get there? In your opinion what is the best time of the year?

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
