Pamir pasture, Tajikistan

At 3800meters in the Pamirs, in Tajikistan. This is the remote Pamir Highway, one of the great adventure journeys of the world. Mostly a single lane, and often pitted and washed away, it crosses a huge high altitude wilderness from Tajikistan, to Kyrgyzstan and Xinjiang in China. Very little traffic uses it, and human settlements are very scarce in this treeless, almost barren landscape weathered by bitter cold, deep snows and winter blizzards. Yaks are the only livestock hardy enough to survive here..and there are not many of them.
It was fabulous to traverse it! It took 2 full days to cross it!
Have a lovely weekend all!
