The southern edge of the Central Asian republics is defined by the rocky barrier of the Pamirs which includes the little-visited Fann Mountains. This spectacular range has numerous snow-capped 5000-meter peaks and the potential for brilliant trekking, through rocky valleys and across high passes.
These 4 days trek makes a comprehensive tour of this rugged and picturesque landscape, where Tajik shepherds graze their flocks on remote upland pastures. Climbing to high viewpoints, including the dramatic Alauddin Pass (3,530m) and enjoying a succession of superb lakeside camping places, this is a truly memorable trek.
