Hello! One extra question (might be a very ignorant one): these homestays have electricity, meaning a socket where a phone can be charged? All? Some? A few?

Hello all, I don't intend to carry my work laptop with me during my Pamir cycling trip, and I was wondering if other people have already had the need to keep their valuables safe for a few weeks and then getting them back again. I know that asking either a hotel or a stranger to keep them seems the ...

Thank you all, I am now pretty determined to buy something better. I'll check these Schwalbe Marathon Mondial tires, for example...

Thank you, very specific. We're carrying a tent indeed (my friend is, not me, but the idea is for the both of us to use it). I'll remember what you said about the Khargush pass, as it's definitely on our route.

Weirdly, Germany appears not to be on that list: https://new.wpk.kz/covid-19_kz_eng The original comment is on this thre...

PS: General tips about apparent temperature while cycling would also be welcome. I've read all the basic information but I am not very sure what to pack exactly if I want to carry minimum weight and at the same time be ready for both strong heat and strong cold. Along this route, in August, how ofte...

Hi all, If circumstances allow, I plan to cycle along the Pamir Highway with a friend starting around early August. In theory we would only cycle from Dushanbe to Murghab, taking the Wakhan valley detour. Then once in Murghab the idea would be to ride on some transport back to Dushanbe (I hope that ...

Entry on 22 May 2022. I can confirm that PCR test is needed, except you have vaccination certificate from these countries: Argentina, Armenia, Belarus, Belgium, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Estonia, Georgia, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iran, Jap...
