Rough and Beautiful M41 to Khorog 2/2

It took us 5 days of good cycling in the south of Uzbekistan (the best here yet) and then we crossed the border easily to find a great host in Dushanbe and prepare for the Pamir.

Continuing to Samarqand we went down the mountain and past small villages among cotton fields with local markets to reach the majestic city with many blue domes where we met many likeminded travellers.

Cycling out of Khorog we followed the Panj river. The road was fairly good and after two days and camping at Garm Chasma we reached Ishkashim.

Cycling out of Dushanbe we hit the gravel and made our way up the pass to 3200 meters in search for the Panj river.
