KYRGYZSTAN - TAJIKISTAN
THE PAMIR - TIAN SHAN
MOTORCYCLE TOUR
16 DAYS
The Pamir - Tian Shan motorcycle tour through Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan!
What do bikers love the most? Statistics and a survey shows: motorcycle travelers love mountain roads and beautiful views. Therefore, we decided to create a new tour that will satisfy these requests. We connected two different tours into one. Let me introduce the Pamir -Tien Shan mountains tour which includes two giant mountain systems. There is Pamir in Tajikistan and the Tien Shan in Kyrgyzstan. In this tour, you will drive a motorcycle on the famous Pamir Highway in Tajikistan and will see fantastic Martian landscapes of the Pamir mountains. You will drive along a beautiful road along the Afghan border and the Pyanj River. You will swim in the lake of Alexander Great. In Kyrgyzstan, you will come into the colorful Tien Shan mountains where, through dizzying passes, you will visit the cleanest mountain lakes in the world and spend the night in hospitable nomads' yurts. Two different countries, two different cultures united by different mountain landscapes.
NOTE. We do not describe some things which is commercial secret and exclusive part of our itinerary. But you will see it!
