Still more of a concept than an official thru-hike, the Pamir Trail is a work-in-progress that will one day connect some 1,000 km of hiking, shepherd and livestock trails into a continuous route through the wilds of Tajikistan. Although it cannot yet be hiked in full, big sections have been mapped, and specialist trekking operators are running tours to the region.
