Pamir region open again in 2013?
Last summer (2012) most of Tajikistan/ the Pamir region (where you also require a GBAO permit) was closed to tourists following some shootings/ armed intervention by the Tajik government. This was covered at http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...-highway-65451
Anyone been there since the closure and travelled the Pamir Highway (road M41(?) and the Wakhan Valley) in/on their own vehicle, without a guide or convoy or other government bs?
I appreciate it might be a little chilly at this moment in time.
Is your Tajik embassy issuing visas/GBAO permits? (not that this is any guarantee for being let in anyway. Lots of people with valid visas/permits were thrown out of/ not let in last summer).
I have a bike parked in the area and would possibly like to go there this summer.
Many thanks for any up to date information. :-)
