We were 3 girls doing the Pamir Highway with a driver named Mohamed.
The driver was very professional, respectful, caring and made us feel safe and comfortable. He considered all our wishes and needs and did his best to accommodate us. We had our own itinerary with some places which were a bit complicated to get to (due to additional permits required or bad roads) but he helped us organise everything so that we can make it. He treated us like “passenger princesses” because he would fill our water bottles from the big water containers every day, take out all the luggage we needed, stopped everytime we wanted to take a quick picture somewhere and he even brought foldable chairs and a table for our lunch picnics. He always drove very carefully so that we feel safe but fast enough so that we reach our destinations early. He took amazing care of the car and almost every day it was freshly cleaned inside and out. If we needed to get anywhere or take care of something, he would offer to drive us around without even asking, for example when we needed to do our OVIR registration, get permits for Zorkul and get passport photos in Murghab, we only had over one hour to do all of that, but he drove us everywhere and we made it on time. He always considered our preferences for the accommodation and if we didn’t like the place he would take us somewhere else without any problems. When we went on an overnight hike to Jizev, he asked many times if we are sure we don’t need him with us. He agreed to camp with us at Zorkul lake even though it was -2 degrees at night. He was also very funny and we were laughing all the time. These are just a few examples of how good Mohamed took care of us the whole 12 days. We couldn’t have asked for a better driver and I thank you so much for this unforgettable experience and wish you all the best!
