Cycling the Pamir Highway Part One || WO2W (EP.9)

We are currently on a bicycle tour around the world. Our trip started in April 2017 and we have been cycling east ever since. We crossed the to the Pamir Highway in August and are currently in SE Asia. After completing this section of the trip we fly to Australia & NZ and finally the Americas. In these videos, we hope to show you what our life is like on the road.

In this episode we reach the Pamir highway. Leaving Dushanbe was a surreal experience, we were finally experiencing what we had seen in so many videos and blogs.
Both physically & mentally we knew we would be tested. However nothing could prepare us for the unbridled beauty of this region and the openness of its people.

We opted for the north road out of Dushanbe, as it promised stunning views. It definitely delivered on this even if the majority of the riding was on gravel roads.

The full 542km stretch took us deep into the mountains through the GBAO region of Tajikistan, alongside the Afghanistan border and up our first proper pass. The road often left us weary but also with a massive sense of achievement at the end of each day.

If you have any questions about this section of the trip please don't hesitate to ask!
