Mountaineering in the Pamirs, 1992
Our destination was the Pamir-Alay mountains, which lie on the border of Tadjikistan and Kirgizia. Further East lie the Tien-Shen mountains and China, and to the South lie the Pamirs proper, the Hindu Kush and Afghanistan. I flew to Moscow, but for the equally long journey from Moscow to our destination we went by train. This took three days and three nights, passing through Russia, Kazakstan and Uzbekestan before reaching Leninabad (since renamed!) in Tadjikistan. On the way we crossed the Ural river which marks the border between Europe and Asia, journeyed alongside the Aral Sea (which was no more than a couple of puddles) and watched camel caravans crossing the desert alongside the railway. The trans-siberian is nothing compared to this train journey!
