Guesthouses in Shirkent National Park?

Asked by: Cas

We want to go trekking in Shirkent National Park with a mix of camping and guest houses, is that possible?

Answered by: Alovaddin Kalonov

There are no guesthouses in the Shirkent valley, it is totally unpopulated. Trekking here is camping only!

Visiting The Pamir Highway & Mountains

Known locally as “the roof of the world,” the Pamir Mountains dominate with their superlatives. From the largest glacier outside of the polar region to 7,000-plus metre (23,000ft) peaks, the landscape here is designed to awe.
