Karakoram Highway: Xinjiang's Tashkurgan & Tajik Wedding
The Karakorum Highway: World's MOST Diverse Mountain Pass I S2, EP88
I am in Tashkurgan, in the border region of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. People in this region are mostly Wakhis, an ethnicity situated close to the Wakhan Corridor which mostly lies in Afghanistan but also partly in Pakistan and Tajikistan.
My journey starts on the renowned Karakoram Highway, one of the most fascinating trade routes of the ancient silk road, connecting central and south Asia through the Karakoram, Himalaya, and Hindu Kush Ranges. I met some Kyrgyz, and Tajiks on the way, and eventually reached Tashkurgan where I got spontaneously invited to a Tajik wedding.
Join me on this adventure to Far West China.
