Uzbekistan to Tajikistan via Besharik
I am currently in Uzbekistan and have decided that instead of going to Khujand from Tashkent, I will travel to North East Uzbekistan in Kokand and head to Khujand from there.
I then want to spend some time acclimatising to altitude before starting a Pamir highway trek. We had some altitude sickness last time around 2400m but we also had food poisoning so not 100% sure - we were out cold for 3 days, so want to take this slow before the Pamir highway. Does my plan work? and any must do's on the way?
* Day 1: Fergana Valley to Khujand - shared taxis
* Day 2: Khujand to Shahriston Pass to Panjakent (The Move & Spike Day). Sleep: Panjakent (1,000m)
* Day 3: Panjakent to Seven Lakes. Sleep: Padrud Village, 5th Lake (1,900m)
* Day 4: Seven Lakes. Sleep: Padrud Village, 5th Lake (1,900m)
* Day 5: Seven Lakes to Iskanderkul Lake. Easy afternoon stroll to the Iskanderkul Waterfall and Snake Lake (2,200m). Sleep: Iskanderkul (2,200m)
* Day 6: Iskanderkul (The 3,000m Valley Push). Morning Sarytag Valley Hike. A gradual, wide riverbed walk up to exactly 3,000m. Sleep: Iskanderkul (2,200m)
* Day 7: Iskanderkul to Dushanbe
Any comments / help much appreciated
