No worries:
info@meta.tj

Thanks etc4ca. I bring yr attention to yr statement:
>Watch out for a couple of the turns when you get into the valley down to the Wakhan.

Do u mean bcos the turns are sharp & steep?
I read a blog mentioning, "slightly b4 Langar (coming from Khargush), for about 20 - 30m, the road suddenly disappeared, must track back the road via tyre signs, and shall find the rd. Continue another 3kms very sharp & hairpin bends before reaching the valley of Langar."
My question, do u experience this as well?

Yes...

We were cutting new snow at the time and had to take it easy in places. One of the hairpins has a marker where a truck full of Soviet soldiers sadly met their end. However, its fairly obvious and you can work it out if you've got decent visibility ahead.

By the way, I've opened up a page now on the META website for travel news - its still generic but I'm hoping to get regular updates (maybe weekly) going sometime in May for this season. I'll also check the road conditions and details for the pass sections which are the main risks.

Regards,

Ouchhh...that sounds scary. Do u hv any pics for that part?
Can u gv me the link to the page?

Re: the road down to Langar, it can get washed out also. When we left Langar toward Khargush (this was in August), a section of road several meters across was partly washed away, partly submerged. It was doable for a two-wheeled vehicle, though, so nothing too bad.

How deep was the water then? And how many times u came across this situation?

Hi Anita

Can I please check who you are riding with and are you renting your bike? I'm a female biker and looking for company. Have been riding some places and over 16 years.

Open for company?
