Mountain Unity has posted an article on an extremist attack in the Badakhshan Province, only a few hours from Ishkashim which forms the gateway to the Wakhan Corridor. Mountain Unity, a charity that promotes tourism in the Wakhan, can no longer do so. This is what they say on their Facebook page:
"Wardoj is only a few hours from Ishkashim. Mountain Unity no longer promotes the Wakhan as a safe destination because we have no presence or insight into the situation on the ground."
Anyone planning a trip to the region, keep an eye on the MU Facebook page for the latest.
This blog provides information about trekking in the Pamir Mountains and the Zerafshan Range in Tajikistan and the Afghan Wakhan Corridor. These mountains ranges are considered one of the most desolate and least visited regions in the world. All photographs and text on this website is subject to copyright © Jan Bakker 2009-2020
