Tajikistan: Trip to Pamir - halfway / first part

There is only one road that leads to Pamir. But before you can go there, you have to come to Qualaikum, and there are even two routes to get there. Personally, I would have chosen the northern route if I were traveling privately, but with the shared taxi, it always goes through Kulob in the south. It's also nice because you get to see the Afghan side a bit earlier. In Qualaikum, we had to make a longer stop than planned: Sacrifice Feast and accordingly a holiday hustle instead of "regular" traffic. More than enough time to keep an eye on the Afghan side. Soooooo exciting!!
