Question 1

What should I pack for a trip to the Pamir Highway?

Audrey · Accepted Answer

Travelers to the Pamir Highway should pack layers for a variety of weather conditions as temperatures can vary greatly depending on the time of day and altitude. It can get quite warm during the daytime, but drop down at night as these are high desert environments. Packing essentials include:

warm clothing: think layers since temperatures will go up and down throughout the day
wind and waterproof gear
comfortable hiking shoes
sun protection: a hat and sunglasses and high SPF sunscreen as the sun is strong at these high altitudes.

The Pamir Highway goes through a remote mountain region so it is important to bring a sufficient supply of any necessary medications, as pharmacies can be scarce.  All of our Pamir Highway tours include a basic first aid kit in the vehicle.
