krygyzstan

Glorious snow-capped mountain scenery and attractive cities aplenty as we prepared for our trip along the Pamir Highway, which begins in the South of the country close to the border with Tajikistan. Muslim influences became more apparent in the culture, although we found the cuisine choices in Osh and Bishkek to be pretty international. Staying mostly in homestays and hostels we met a number of other travellers with whom we exchanged our Pamir route plans with excitement, including a number of hardy cyclists taking the rough, steep and often snow covered Pamir terrain on two wheels. Brave souls.
