I have no idea where this idea that one can 'cross the Wakhan corridor' from Tajikistan to Pakistan comes from. You say you have conflicting information - what is your source that says it is possible?
You can see for yourself on GOogle maps that there is no road. It used to be an informal/semi-legal border crossing for residents of the region (e.g. Gojali Tajiks living in the Chapursan valley) but that was closed 15 or so years ago for security concerns. Even then it was a tough mountain crossing done on yak/horse.
That leaves a relatively expensive (and currently not possible) crossing of Xinjiang from Kyrgyzstan/Kazakhstan/Tajikistan to Pakistan or, crossing a good swath of Afghanistan. The latter is possible (I speak from experience, and have a friend travelling there as we speak) but probably not advisable for someone with no experience in the region.
