Tao Wind

Two weeks, 10000km, 7 boundaries. We went to the highest pass of the former Soviet Union. But most of all on this journey I liked trehsotkilometrovy area along the Afghan border. This site today and I'll show you.

Nurek Reservoir - the highest in the world.

Pamir highway stunningly beautiful.

Like any mountain road, then there are lots of "nuance." This blockage has forced us to make a detour to 100km.

Heavy clouds are often unable to rise above and get stuck in a trap in the mountains, creating zero visibility in the canyons.

Here are the most reliable and unpretentious transport to these places.

To our surprise, the roads in the Pamirs is quite tolerable, and there we are not only not spoiled any of our low-profile tires, but sometimes even brought the speedometer to 150km / h

That is the ridge is in Afghanistan. But we separated from it only in the river Panj width 10 meters. On the other side there were no roads, but the trail was laid on the steep slopes of the gorge above the raging water, Panj. In some places, the trail turned into a lane on a vertical cliff. Even with the experience of climbing, I do not understand how they can move. But every now and then the trail went Afghans. Who's with baskets behind, who with Batteries sheep. There were clearly far away and long, as the settlements were separated by tens of kilometers. Settlements are also reminded that I have seen on the excavation of ancient Greece and Rome. Small stone-clay construction pressed close to each other.

Not the most ergonomic backpacks. I think many things in life Afghans have not changed a couple of thousand years.

Along with fabulous scenery is all in my memory revives the worlds of Tolkien.

But there are things here, and far from fantasy.

I did not have any obligations to the Land Rover, but he also won a short story ...

In short, the Range has surpassed all my expectations. Punched in the Russian road wheel is not the fault of the machine. No more problems on the technical part was not. Our Sports silently chewed any solarium (some happiness to find at least some gas station). He warmed us at night, turned the lights behind the wheel himself down the steep slope, he slowed the appearance of obstacles, increased ground clearance off-road and down at speed, let go 150km / h at an altitude of 4000km without appreciable loss of power, showing a picture of the world with zashibennuyu its five chambers. In general, I think it is fucking rulilsya, accelerated, inhibited, and had too many bells and whistles all pleasant. In this case I have not tired any part of the body, after almost two weeks bezvylazno in Sports ... Surprisingly, I did not find to cavil on the condition that I have no relations with the office gave Range Vite.

Finally a little Panj.
