Trip Reports and Difficult Passes

We do not plan on writing very many trip reports. Usually we just further edit the map after a trip if there is some new information to be collected (new bridge, destroyed bridge, spring locations, etc…).

What we find most useful is a combined trip report + a pass description that uses as much information from other reports as possible (e.g., information on the approaches).

For now, this is what we have compiled:

• Chimtarga Pass (part of a loop in the Fann Mountains)

• Mura Pass (connecting the Fann Mountains to the Dushanbe area through the western Hisor Mountains)

• Kulol-Sangalt Pass (connecting the Varzob/Dushanbe area to Ziddi and Yaghnob through the eastern Hisor Mountains)

• Rost Pass (connecting the Yaghnob Valley to Ghuzn in the Zarafshon Valley).

• Upper Chapdara Pass (Connecting the Seven Lakes, or Haft Kul, to the rest of the Fann Mountains)

• Ti Shakh Pass (connecting the Upper Zarafshon to Dashti Ziyorat and the far upper Yaghnob River, also part of a high loop)

• Jindon Pass (connecting the Upper Zarafshon to Dashti Ziyorat and the far upper Yaghnob River, also part of a high loop)

• Demnora Pass (connecting the Upper Zarafshon to Dashti Ziyorat and the far upper Yaghnob River, also part of a high loop)

• Tarkh Pass (Moghiyon to the Seven Lakes via the Suvashi Gorge)

• Beob Pass (Connecting the Zarafshon Valley to Rasht Valley)

• Odudi Pass (Rushon/Bartang to Yazghulom Valley)

• Baju-Baghu Loop (Bartang back to Bartang)

• Jizev-Rozhak Pass (Bartang to Khorugh/Khorog)
