Wegenkaart - Autokaart - Landkaart The Pamirs | Gecko Maps

The map "The Pamirs" was done in several years work by the swiss cartographer Markus Hauser for the UNESCO projekt "Cultural and Eco-tourism in the Mountainous Regions of Central Asia and in the Himalaya". In Tajikistan the Projekt is implemented by the french NGO ACTED.

Tajikistan is a land of majestic peaks, glaciers, and high mountain deserts. The country with its rich cultural heritage and diverse landscapes is still waiting to be discovered. Tourism is hardly developed – and thus, many a mystery remains to be uncovered by those willing to venture into the country. The Pamirs, the mountain range covering the Eastern part of Tajikistan - administratively known as ‘Gorno Badakhshan’ since Soviet times – are particularly remote and have had a special status due to their geographic location. Simultaneously, they are amongst the pearls in the crown of the world’s high mountain ranges.

This map represents a key to the discovery of that mythical region. It’ll help you to trace your way along the historical paths of the high Silk Road, the deep cut valleys of the west and the vast plains of the high plateau of the Eastern part of the region. It’ll equip you with relevant travel information for a unique experience of breathtaking landscapes and of diverse cultures united by the celebration of hospitality.
