EXPERIENCES

A range of thrilling experiences handpicked by our experts. Don’t see one that’s just right for you? No problem. Our local insiders will create precisely what you want.

Pamir Sky Observatory


At 3,650 meters above sea level, Murghab’s Pamir Sky Observatory is one of the world's highest astronomical points. Here, far from light pollution, the heavens unfold in their full brilliance. As you gaze up, witness constellations, meteor showers, and the vast expanse of the Milky Way. The clarity of the night sky offers both amateur stargazers and seasoned astronomers a celestial spectacle that's simply unforgettable.

Murghab Bazaar


Distinctive for its shipping containers turned market stalls, Murghab Bazaar is a testament to adaptability and resilience. As you meander through, encounter an eclectic mix of goods – from fresh produce to Chinese electronics. Engage with the Kyrgyz and Tajik traders, listening to their stories, understanding their life in this high-altitude desert. The bazaar serves as a cultural hub, offering a slice of local life amidst the barren landscapes.

Pamir Highway


Often referred to as the "Roof of the World", the Pamir Highway, passing through Murghab, is one of the world’s most epic road journeys. Traversing through arid plateaus, alpine landscapes, and past azure lakes, it offers views that are stark yet stunning. Along the way, encounter nomadic shepherds, ancient caravanserais, and remnants of the Silk Road, narrating tales of adventurers and traders from eons past.

Trek to Rang-Kul Lake


Nestled amidst the snow-clad Pamirs, Rang-Kul Lake is a haven for nature enthusiasts. As you trek towards this high-altitude lake, the surreal landscapes – from stark scree slopes to lush pastures – leave you enthralled. Once at the lake, its tranquil waters mirroring the azure skies offer moments of reflection and serenity. The occasional yurt settlements on the shores add to the charm, epitomizing life in these remote terrains.

Eagle Hunting Demonstrations


The Kyrgyz nomads of the Murghab region preserve the ancient tradition of eagle hunting. Attend a demonstration where skilled hunters showcase their synergy with trained golden eagles. Witness the majestic birds soar, swoop, and respond to their handler's call, all while hunting for prey. This age-old practice, rooted in survival and bonding between man and bird, offers a rare insight into the heritage of the high Pamirs.

Statue of Lenin


A relic from the Soviet era, the Statue of Lenin in Murghab stands as a reminder of the region's historical ties. Located on a hill, this statue overlooks the town, a silent guardian of sorts. While the political affiliations have shifted over time, visiting the statue provides a historical context to Tajikistan's Soviet past and the influence it had on this remote mountainous region.
