Our final night in Tajikistan, and what a spot to spend it—one last camp under the stars before crossing into Kyrgyzstan. 🇰🇬 An interesting border awaits…

Mission Complete! When we chose the Bartang Valley

Mission Complete! When we chose the Bartang Valley over the safer, and more well-trodden Pamir Highway back in Rushon, we knew we were rolling the dice.

We’d been warned: Too dangerous. Impassable. You’ll never make it. Altitude sickness, flash floods, deadly landslides, deep mud—the risks were real. Just a week before we entered, several 4x4s were stranded, and we’d even heard of vehicles being lost entirely.

With this in mind, we did our homework. We spoke to locals, cross-checked every bit of information we had, and made an informed decision. We were prepared for almost anything, knowing we had the fuel to turn back and the supplies to wait it out if needed.

There’s no doubt—if you don’t time it right, you won’t make it. Landslides, rising rivers, and deep mud will stop you in your tracks.

But if you can read the land and weather, trust your instincts, and hit the right window, you’ll have an experience like no other.

Just incredible 🤯

We had no real idea if we’d make it this far through the valley, but according to our map, this was the final stretch! We stopped here briefly just to take it all in.

Leah taking her perch up on the roof! I have an immense amount of gratitude and deep respect for who my wife is as a person and the incredible things she’s capable of. I’m forever thankful for the unwavering support she’s given me over the years in everything I do. There’s no way we’d be able to do what we do with @projectwildearth without her. She’s a true superstar in so many ways and, in my eyes, an unsung hero. It’s not valentines or an anniversary or any particular occasion, just deep appreciation and love. 😍

To Bartang, or not to Bartang, that is the question. Known for its epic landscapes and isolated villages, the Bartang Valley in Tajikistan is also notorious for its dangers — landslides, mud, unpredictable rivers, and elevations over 4000 metres. We’d arrived in Rŭshan and it was decision time. Do we stay on the Pamir Highway or do we turn off for the Bartang Valley and rejoin the Pamir further along the route?

This was a bit sketchy - one of the most tense mom

This was a bit sketchy - one of the most tense moments on our journey so far. As we climbed above 10,000ft, heading South towards the Afghan border, the conditions went from bad to worse. Slippery mud, almost no grip, steep drop to one side and the trailer sliding all over the place. I had to really concentrate —this could’ve gone wrong in so many ways… as always, the video doesn’t really do it justice. 😂

The weather window in the Fann Mountains was closing and so it was time to start heading East towards the Pamir Highway along the more challenging Northern Route.
