Starting and ending in Dushanbe, the tour "Tajikistan Expedition: Pamir Highway & Beyond" is a guided cultural, religious and historic sites tour that takes 16 days. You will travel through Dushanbe in Tajikistan. "Tajikistan Expedition: Pamir Highway & Beyond" is a small group tour which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

The Pamir Highway: Central Asia’s greatest road adventure. Travelling in 4x4s, we follow this rugged mountainous route through the remote Pamir range, discovering an area along the Afghan border, much of the time alongside the Panj River, that only the most adventurous ever explore. On the way, we visit the ruins of Zoroastrian castles and shrines, see a Buddhist stupa and meet the skeleton of a Sogdian princess. We also head off the main highway to go even deeper into the country, encountering lands where the language changes from one valley to the next. To make sure we see as much as possible, we’ve designed our tour to roughly follow a figure of eight, meaning we mostly avoid retracing our steps.
