I'm sure it's a fun drive, but IMO "epic" should be saved for people through hiking or cycling the route. There are lots of helpful trip reports and route descriptions for Pamir Highway around the web, too.
Cycling would definitely be my preference. It's just a great way to see the scenery, appreciate the terrain, and interact with locals. Probably quite a bit safer, too.
- hombre_fatal 8y agoI feel like we're watering down the word epic, because even hiking or cycling can't compare to traversing it on a hang glider you built yourself, as I once did. A lot of westerners think they can find epic adventure, but they can't. Not when they have a first world family or nest to return to. A true epic adventurer has no safety net, much like me on my homemade glider.
