Pamir Highway (Part 2): Alichur – Murghab – Akbaital Pass (4655m) – Karakul – Sarytash – Osh > Best pictures post // Also new episode out on YT

The highest, most challenging and most beautiful section of the Pamir Highway is the High Plateau between Alichur (GBAO, Tajikistan) and Sarytash (Kyrgyzstan).
We rested a few days in Murghab (3600m) as we struggled with altitude sickness and got ourselves some food poisoning eating chicken in a restaurant at the market.
On the way to the nemesis, 4655m high Ak-Baital pass, the landscape gets increasingly surreal. We camp at 4200m and enjoy the most wonderful night sky of our lifetime at a crisp -10°C.
The following days are literally breathtaking. The pictures don't do the beauty justice.
After descending into Kyrgyzstan and Sarytash (3170m) we see our first camels.

We just released the final and most stunning episode of our 6 part video documentary series which is now out on Youtube. Link in the comments below!
