Feel inspired to ride Central Asia? Here are a few pointers:
-Best time to ride the Pamir region is July – August: at other times, most mountain passes become impassable because of weather conditions
-Getting the visas is not an issue, but it’s worth checking whether you need a special permit for specific regions – for example, the Gorno-Badakhshan autonomous region of Tajikistan. Located in the Eastern part of the country, it makes up 45% of the land area but only 3% of its population. You can get the GBAO permit to ride there in the Tajik embassy.
