Yamchun Castle ruins, Tajikistan

Yamchun Castle ruins, Tajikistan
In the Wakhan Valley of Tajikistan, long ago a part of the Silk Route, are remains of many fortified walls and castles. To the right, across the river, is Afghanistan. This is the lower edge of the Pamir Mountains, and is the entrance to the remote high altitude Pamir Highway to Kyrgyzstan, a real adventure journey. Even more so on loaded camels trains, with lurking brigands and armed robbers abounding!
HWW all..and a hug…

Fabulous! Lurking brigands and armed robbers abounding - now that would be a package holiday with a bit of spice...

The use of local materials makes the ruins harmonize with the nature of the rugged environment.
Warm greetings, Anton.

Rugged is the word I'd use to describe this area. It is quite difficult to spot the walls of the ancient castle. They have merged into the scenery.
