The Pamir Highway in 4 Days — 4 days / 3 nights
A 4-day Pamir Highway tour from Dushanbe — a short journey into the heart of the Western Pamirs, with mountain roads, gorges and the atmosphere of true high altitude.
This four-day route from Dushanbe via Kalaikhum to Khorog suits travellers who want to experience the Pamirs without a long expedition. The journey follows one of the most scenic stretches of the Pamir Highway, along the Panj River and through the mountain valleys of the Western Pamirs.
The programme includes stops at viewpoints, time in Khorog, overnights in Kalaikhum and Khorog, and the return to Dushanbe along the same mountain route. The format lets you see the characteristic landscapes of the Pamirs in just a few days and feel the scale of this remote region of Tajikistan.

How it went
The best trip of our lives. The Sayohat team thought of every detail — from the airport pickup in Dushanbe to sunsets over the Pamirs. We simply enjoyed ourselves while everything else was taken care of for us.
The Pamir Highway is another planet. Our guide Farrukh knew every pass and every legend. The vehicles were reliable and the guesthouse stays were heartfelt.
Samarkand exceeded all expectations. The Registan at dawn gave us goosebumps. Transfers, hotels and the guide worked flawlessly, without a single hitch.
