Tajikistan, days 7 to 14: The Pamir Highway
Wakhan valley and the way to Dushanb. From Bulunkul we slowly left the Pamir plateau after riding Khargush pass at 4,344 meters. Then we met the afghan border that we followed for a couple of days, facing the Hindukush peaks and a stunning mountainous nature.

Vince getting closer to the border with Afghanisan right in the back ground of this picture.

The trail gets full of sand at some point and it's impossible to ride properly.

On the left side of the river: Afghanistan.

On the left Afghanistan and on the right, Tajikistan.

A local shepherd welcomes us on the road side.

We set up our camp for the night , altitude 3,800 meters, 30 meters away from Afghanistan, right across the river...

On the next morning we carry on, here a afghan bridge on the other side of the main river.

Can you see the afghani pick-up car? This is the only decent road we could see on their side.
