I'm just back from another work trip to Tajikistan. This time I "had" to go the Pamirs, and I managed to add a couple of days for birding.
Already the drive for work was phantastic! Absolutely incredible landscapes, remote villages, lovely people and food was not bad too.
Particularely interesting was that the drive was most time along the Panj river, which forms the border to Afghanistan, so views were on Afghanistan most of the time. What a beautiful area!
Before the birds, some landscape impressions.
1) village in Afghanistan
2-4) in the Wakhan, view on the Hindukush with Afghanistan and the snowy peaks in Pakistan
5) Caravane in Afghanistan, going into the remote parks of the Wakhan Corridor. There are no roads there any more (on the Tajik side there is). Quite strange to watch that remote part of the world from just the other side of a stream
