Leaving Tajikistan
We left Dushanbe to drive back up the spectacular road through the mountains that we had taken the day before.
We took a turning off the main road to visit Iskandalgul...
...up a small valley...
... to reach the lake and a view of the small outflow.
A view across the lake.
Our lakeside camp...
...my upgrade from a tent to a cabin...
...some tents by the lake...
...and a view across the lake.
The presidents retreat on the lake, lakeshore, bottom right corner...
...a closer view...
...and a side door left conspicuously unlocked.
Just one of the seven springs near the house...
...and the cave where Alexander's horse, Bucephalus died.
A view of the outflow...
...looking down river...
We were on our way to see the country's highest waterfall...
...the viewng platform...
...the cascades above the waterfall.
Then it was a drive up to a pass to reach our next destination...
...a view back down the valley...
...a view back to the town at the end of the valley...
...lots of bends...
...and the tunnel to get through the mountains and to the plains and Khojand...
...the bazaar...
...
...and to our bush camp next to a large lake...
...the truck...
...some of our tents.
...looking back up towards the lake...
