The Pamir Highway
If you’re looking for a great road trip then the Pamir Highway could be perfect for you. As the second highest motorway in the world, it rises to a peak altitude off 4,655 metres, passing through mountains and the high desert like plateau of the Tajikistan Pamirs.
This makes an adventurous journey for a group of friends to undertake by renting their own 4WD, or you could also join in with the locals and share transport, which is the best way if travelling alone.
