  • Yes, went into Ishkashim and ran up the Wakhan Corridor for a few days. Got quite sick, so didn't get as far as I'd have liked. Still, great experience and you could just rock up in a village and ask them to put you up for the night. Then all the village menfolk would come round and stare at you for a few hours.

    Strangely, got detained/arrested (not sure which) by the army on the way back through Ishkashim. Still no idea why, but they seemed quite cross for a while.

  • Wow. Sounds like quite an adventure man! Do you have a report and or pictures online? I'd love to see it. Maybe its not possible any longer but I've read that if you know the right people you can cross the Wakhan and then into Pakistan or the other way around. Sounds like fun to me but I'm not so sure my wife would agree.

  • PM sent. Reckon going into Pakistan should be quite possible - borders in that part of the world exist more on paper than reality. I think I may still have the email address of a mountain guide somewhere if you want it.
