At 2019 me and my husband visited Tajikistan at the first time. We did the Chimtarga pass trek with paramount Journey. As we finished the trek we knew that we will come again to Tajikistan.
After 4 years we came! This time we did the Pamirs lake circuit, starting from Bachor village and finishing at Bulunkul village.it is a stunning 9 days trek, the wide valleys, the lakes, the glaciers, the colours and the remote atmosphere make this trek very unique! Do not skip Shtik Lazar pass and Chapdarkul lake!!! The drive to the start point on the Pamir highway is very intresting, you can see the Afgan villiges at the other side, we stopped for overnight at Kalai khomb, chorog and Bachor and learned alot from our guide , Humoyun,about history, culture and costoms of Tajikistan and central Asia. Our driver, Miraj, is a professional!! We felt in good hands and he was so kind and invited us for a stop at his home for tea and refreshments.
We had 4 team members during the trek: our guide, Humoyun, vohid,the cook, who made tasty and healthy meals and also gave us a lot from his knowledge about the area and Hursand and Rukstan from Bachor village who lead the donkey's and were so friendly!!!.
This whole team were lovely company!
Alovaddin was all the time behind the scence, getting reports from Humoyun that we are eatting well and feeling well and we appreciate that very much!
It was obvious for us that we will trek with Paramount Journey second time because with this company you get the best, you feel safe and you leave Tajikistan not just with the experience of the trek but also with a lot of knowledge about Tajikistan and central Asia.
So if you were thinking about visiting Tajikistan, Paramount Journey is the best choice!! We travelled with them twice!
