These petroglyphs serve as a silent storyteller, transporting visitors back in time and offering a profound connection to the area's ancestral roots.
Overlooking the village, the remnants of the Langar Fortress beckon adventurers. As you hike up to this historical marvel, you're rewarded with panoramic views of the Wakhan Valley and the Panj River, with Afghanistan just a stone's throw away. The fortress, believed to be a fire temple from ancient times, offers both historical intrigue and a vantage point that captures the breathtaking beauty of the Pamirs.
For those seeking an adrenaline rush, a trek to Engels Peak is a must. This challenging ascent takes you through varied landscapes – from verdant meadows to glacial paths.

It's a testament to nature's grandeur and the indomitable spirit of every trekker.
Tucked amidst the rugged landscapes, the Langar Hot Springs offer a therapeutic escape. Rich in minerals, these springs are renowned for their healing properties. Immerse yourself in the warm waters, let the natural warmth soothe your muscles and rejuvenate your senses. With the majestic mountains as your backdrop, it’s relaxation and serenity at its best.
The heart of Langar lies in its community. Interact with the welcoming locals, who often invite travellers into their homes for a meal or tea. These interactions provide a genuine insight into the Pamiri culture, traditions, and daily life. Share stories, savour homemade delicacies, and perhaps even partake in a local dance or song, forging connections that transcend borders and linger long after the journey ends.
Reflecting the region's rich Islamic heritage, the Langar Mosque stands as a symbol of faith and community. Its intricate woodwork, traditional architecture, and serene ambiance make it a spiritual haven. Spend a moment in reflection, admire the craftsmanship, or simply soak in the tranquillity that permeates the premises. For those interested in religious history and architecture, the mosque offers a captivating glimpse.
