The Pamir have been known as “Bami Dunya”, the roof of the world, route of the traders and pilgrims.

In this journey we discover the ancient land, once explored by Marco Polo, visit ancient forts, Zoraastrian shrines assimilating with Islam & Bhuddism which will brings us to the days of the Silk Roads.
But that’s just the start! We will drive along the border of Afghanistan side of Panj river and explore its rich in untouched nature areas, see the ancient villages and buy burkas at the market.
