Pamir: Karakul

Three hours north of Murghab is the very last settlement on the Tajik side before the Kyrgyz border. The border is currently closed, so there is little to no traffic. Especially on a Sunday, when I found myself wanting to go further again. So I thought I would try to go north. As expected, no traffic. Only three hours, but the highest pass at 4655m was waiting. Due to various circumstances, a car turned out to be a taxi. Anything is possible in the Pamir, and I was happy to pay for it. Who knows if there would have been a car during the week. And so Alijon drove me to Karakul, and he even let me drive myself - what an experience :) And Karakul itself was like being on another planet!!
