Pamir Highway in August 2019
 

Hello,

I’m seeing if anyone is interested or already planning to go through the Pamir Highway loop from Osh in August or early September. I have a KLR 650 in Osh, Kyrgyzstan and am planning to do it, but would prefer to not have to do it alone due to the elevation and possible breakdowns.

I am hoping to do it in 8-10 days. I would like to go through the Wakhan valley, and if it is passable, the Bartang Valley on the way back.

I think I have “intermediate” offroad experience, but I’m not a crazy offroader. I’ve ridden Baja, around SE Asia, through Russia and Mongolia. I would like to do some camping along the way, but stay in homestays where appropriate.

My ideal timeline would be around August 4-14, but can do it later as well, but before the weather gets too cold. If you are planning a similar route around that time and wouldn’t mind some company, please message me and we can see if we can work something out.

Summary of plan:
Time plan: August 2018 (8-10 days, flexible)
Rough route plan: Osh -> Wakhan Valley -> Khorog -> Bartang Valley (optional) -> Osh map of area
Motorcycle: Kawasaki KLR650
Accommodation: some camping / homestays

Thanks!
Dominik.

May be slightly early for me but lets keep in touch on this.

Hi Dominik
I'll be in and around Kyrgyzstan / Tajikistan in August and have a similar itinerary to you. I wrote this a little while ago: https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hu...r-2019-a-98525

Let's stay in touch. Maybe send a email / PM to swap social media details? I don't come here very often.

..planning roughly the same trip in the same timeframe but as of now it's all in the air until visa situation gets resolved so stand by

I'll be doing the same down from Osh but probably at a slower pace on a GSXR600

Not sure on dates are yet, probably looking like mid to late August
