Getting there & away
Allow two days to drive the 200km-long road between Ishkashim and Sarhad-e Brog-hil, stopping overnight in Khandud or Qila-e Panja. Special hires cost US$100 per day. Drivers may try to charge for extra days by driving too slowly or because of vehicle breakdowns.
Hire an experienced driver with a 4WD who has previously been to Wakhan and knows how to drive through rivers. Don’t hire a Toyota Town-Ace if you’re going beyond Khandud. High water, particularly in Ish Murg, may force an overnight in Khandud and can block the road anywhere beyond Khandud. Be prepared to leave the vehicle and travel onwards by foot or horseback at any time.
