Around Pamir Highway in mid-August 2025
Hi.
I made Pamir Highway in 2015, since then I was fascinated by idea to ride Wakhan corridor (Tajik part) and Bartang valley (both are parallel to Pamir Highway). Particular route could be negotiated. I can go either clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The plan is to start the route mid-August from Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) and finish that circle in ~2-3 weeks.
Some technical aspects:
- middle weight enduro on 50/50 or knobby tires will be very useful.
- 2 days altitude accommodation in Lenin peak base camp is essential for me before approaching Kyzyl-Art pass and further in to Pamir.
- My enduro skills are moderate plus I like to watch surroundings while riding thus speed is pretty low.
Would love to hear from people interested to join me.
I'm quite familiar with local paperwork (GBAO permit and Kyrgyzstan tourist permit) and limits of is applicability. I plan to start paperwork preparation in May. If someone is willing to join, I'll do paperwork for all.
