From Remote Mountain Village to Capital City
... front seat position that M occupied allowed her to capture some of the spectacular scenery enroute on the 225 km journey from Penjikent to Dushanbe.After the 90 minute ride eastward towards Ayni which essentially retraced our earlier route from Khujand to Penjikent, we turned right onto a nicely paved road south towards Dushanbe. The route traced the Varzob river for the most part. It then climbed steeply and topped off at Anzob Pass (3372m). On the way, the 4 men in the cargo area ...
