Climate enquiry on Pamir Highway

Post by bordersoverland »

Hi all!

I'm planning to drive across the Pamir Highway from Dushanbe to Osh in mid June, and I'm wondering how the climate might be given the variations in altitude.
Any rough temperature estimates are appreciated! Thanks!

Dushanbe is extremely hot. Khorog is still quite hot during daytime.

I have checked online, as we are travelling to there in mid June too, and it says that for example in Khorog is around 5-10 degrees. Therefore bring also warm clothes if you go hiking or for the night.
May I ask you if you will drive a rented car?

Don't be fooled by the temperature they give. At high altitude the UV rays from the sun burns you in a way that you feel 15 degrees like 30. Also the dry air contributes to dehydration and you feel real hot if you don't drink enough water.
