• 4Set aside a week of your life to experience the Pamir highway!

  The Pamir highway is the trip of a lifetime! Sometimes the road is really bumpy, and at a few of the guest houses the toilets weren't the greatest, but overall it was an incredible journey, one that I was so thrilled to take! Scenery like that is only seen once in a lifetime! The excitement of driving for days right next to China and then right next to Afghanistan, while in the peaceful country of Tajikistan, was unequalled. Our driver Mendibai was truly exceptional! You need an experienced driver on those hairy roads, and we were so lucky to entrust our days to him, and to meet his beautiful family. Seeing snow leopards at the rehab center in Murghab was another highlight! Thanks to Visit Alay for an irrepeatable journey!

• 5Great trip, great driver, and great views

  Had a really awesome 9 day trip from Osh to Dushanbe, would highly recommend! We stayed a couple of days in Sary-Mogul before the trip started to acclimatize to the altitude, and were just picked up at our guesthouse there after lunch on the first day of the tour. Would probably recommend doing it this way, as going straight from Osh up to 4000 meters could be a bit rough. I also think 9 days is a really good length for the trip, any fewer and you would miss out on some cool experiences. Booking with Visit Alay was really easy, not having to plan the itinerary, permits, guesthouses etc. Highlights for me was definitely the various hikes. Our driver Abdul was also really nice, friendly and patient. Always up for answering questions, translating, taking photos, or explaining something. He also seemed to know people wherever we went, and always made sure we stopped at a good place for lunch, and talked to the guesthouses to give us good rooms at good prices. The trip would definitely not have been the same without him.

• 5Amazing 9 day Pamir tour

  Would highly recommend traveling with VisitAlay in the Pamirs. We did the 9 day tour from Osh to Dushanbe, which I think was the perfect length. Their team has been super helpful from start to finish, always being quick to answer any questions, and helping with arranging an amazing group tour for me and my partner despite our constant changes in plans. Big thank you to our amazing driver Abdul, too. Always making sure we get the best room, best price, and best experience. Listening to his good-humored haggling was probably one of the highlights of this whole trip. His skillful driving also made us feel at peace and comfortable in very rocky road conditions, with semi-maniac drivers not being unusual. The role of driver was frankly a small portion of what Abdul offered during our trip though: he coordinated with guest houses, made checkpoints go by smoothly, and was always up for a chat or answering questions. He was always in a good mood, super patient with all our picture stops, and always up for being both photographer and photo subject. He was also mindful to communicate dietary restrictions to the guest house hosts and during lunch stops, which I didn’t expect during this trip at all. Overall an amazing experience!

• 5Fantastic Pamir adventure

  What an adventure! The scenery was out of this world. The stays were good value for money. Our guide and driver Ysmayil was a hero - navigating us so swiftly through the endless variety of road quality! And let’s not forget the great playlist! I enjoyed every moment of it.

• 5Amazing Pamir Adventure with Ismail!

  Ismail (Ysmayil) was an absolutely amazing tour guide that I would highly recommend to anyone booking this tour. He is a highly skilled driver that navigated the rough roads both efficiently and smoothly. Despite the many challenges including a flat tire and a spontaneous itinerary adjustment due to a presidential visit, we always felt in very safe and capable hands. Throughout the trip Ismail was always incredibly friendly and patient, creating a very comfortable and pleasant environment. Thank you Ismail!!

• 5Great and could be the best

  The overall experience is good. We customized the itinerary by ourselves as it is a private tour, and agreed to skip some spots considering the suggestions from driver. As an outcome, I felt we missed some spots which worth visiting. The only missing pieces to get a 10 out of 10 here would be the recommendation from Visitalay that saying certain spot is must-go. Or in another way, tried not to modify the itinerary. Anyway, our driver Kuban was very responsible that he did went extra miles to save us when we lost ourselves at the beginning of Jizev track.
