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.
