A Journey Through Wakhan Corridor Afghanistan | Episode 5 | Last Valley in the World Without Roads

High in the heart of Central Asia, nestled between the towering peaks of the Pamir Mountains, lies a land frozen in time - the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan.
This remote and rugged region, often referred to as the "roof of the world," is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Carved out by ancient glaciers and carved into the very fabric of the earth, the Wakhan Corridor is a place of breathtaking natural beauty and cultural resilience.
For centuries, this narrow strip of land has been a crucial link between the civilizations of the East and West, a vital trade route traversed by caravans and explorers alike. Yet, the Wakhan has remained largely untouched by the modern world, its people clinging steadfastly to their traditional ways of life.
Here, in the shadow of snow-capped peaks and amidst the vast, rolling grasslands, a hardy and self-sufficient people have carved out an existence. The Wakhi and Kyrgyz communities of the Wakhan continue to herd their livestock, weave their intricate textiles, and maintain a deep connection to the land that has sustained them for generations.
But this fragile ecosystem and way of life face an uncertain future as climate change and geopolitical tensions encroach upon the Wakhan. Join us in this journey we'll take you through the Wakhan Corridor by foot across the Irshad Pass into Pamir Mountains of Wakhan Corridor. From Baiqara to Jaboy Qushum, from Minora to Khaschgoz, from Bozoy Gumbiz to Liqo Qushum.
