Pamir Highway
From this road, you can look at China, peek into Pakistan and wave to villagers in Afghanistan.
Stretching more than 1,200km between the cities of Osh in Kyrgyzstan and Dushanbe in Tajikistan, the Pamir Highway is one of the wildest roads in the world – and for the adventurous traveler, possibly the planet’s most epic road trip. The road travels through savage wilderness, ranging from high desert to snowy mountains and crossing passes of more than 4,000m, and is likely inhabited by more snow leopards and spiral-horned Marco Polo sheep than humans.
