Part 2: Gorno Badakhshan Region (East Tajikistan) On this second part i write about the daily adventures starting in the Eastern part of the Pamirs. I decided to split it to have a more clear overview over the Wakhan corridor. Khorog lies at an altitude of around 2100 meters altitude and from here on we […]

Part 1: West Tajikistan In total we spent exactly 1 month in Tajikistan and a little bit over a month in Kyrgyzstan. The trip took us over the north route to the eastern Pamirs and south into the Wakhan valley to go full north crossing the order to Kirghistan. William’s bike was destroyed to level: […]

At the evening before starting or trip from Dushanbe to the Pamirs I get a small chance with decent internet to write some for you. The cherry on the pie as we call it, the Pamirs. Other call it the roof of the earth. It has one of the highest roads on earth and the […]

The experience in Cappadocia was so wonderful it kept us there more than a week. Locals were very humble and kind to us. The understanding of how they think and live became more clear to us. There is only good things to say but we had to continue. Thank you Nilgun, Senim, Deniz, Elif and […]

He even brushes his teeth behind this computer and watches lectures or movies. Or another old guy on a scoot mobile […]

Saying goodbye is difficult when you know it will be a long time before you see these lovely people again. We said goodbye to our parents in Budapest and decided to start cycling after a good cup of coffee. No typical destination in mind we started going south. Soon it was clear the main road […]

Staying one day extra in Ljubljana (Slovenia) was welcoming because we want to enjoy the places we go to as much as possible. For Jaillen it was his second time there and he remembered why he liked this city so much. It’s very lively, clean and authentically modern. The castle up on the hill and […]

While some wonder where we have been since our last post, others sneekpeaked through the app polarsteps what we have been up to.
