I am entering the remote Wakhan Valley in Tajikistan. Riding alongside the border with Afghanistan I'm reaching deep into the valley. This day's ride is from Khorog to Ishkashim. I am riding towards the border with Afghanistan, the only road that is open at the moment. Riding so close to Afghanistan was thrilling, but it was mostly stunning. The scenery was just magnificent! The road started out great, but turned quite challenging near the end...
