We will do a rest and acclimatization stage in Khorugh and we will go to Iskhasim to see the market and we will also stay another day in Murghab if necessary.
We will probably do the Wakhan Corridor, can someone tell me which places would be advisable to rest? Somewhere we should see?
Thanks !!

2018 you couldn't go to the Ischkoschim market anymore. I don't know, if they have made it possible again. However, you could apply for an Afghan visa to enter Wakhan corridor. It is quite expensive though.

It was closed in Sep 2019 but I am not sure if it were because it was closed for good, because of situation with insurgence or simply day of the week. I didn't bother to ask at checkpoint it was the last thing on my mind; it was snowing 3 days later when we woke up in Sary-Tash and that red clay stretch at Kyzyl-Art up to TJ border station and down into 26km noman land to KZ could be iffy if gets snow or wet.
