Looking for a travel partner. Pamir Highway and surroundings in mid-August 2024
Hi.
I made Pamir Highway in 2015, since then I was fascinated by idea to ride border roads (on Tajik side) and Bartang valley (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 weeks.
Some technical aspects: middle weight enduro on 50/50 or knobby tires will be very useful. I was told that there is 2-5 km patch of the road covered with "moon" dust. Company of three GS1200 on 80/20 tires preferred to turn back and make 250 km (1 day) detour around that road. On the other hand there are guys that can ride Motocross Gran Prix on GS1200. I am definitely not that kind of person.
Would love to hear from interested people.
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 that for all.
