The central Pamir (Badakhshan) occupies almost half of modern
Tajikistan, a total of 63,700 square kilometers. The Tajik’s
call this region Po-i- Mir the foot of King and also the second
version Bom-i-Dunyo, the Roof of the World. Merchants and
traders have been traveling by road across the Pamir for centuries.
Unlike trading routes across steppe, which form a complex
web, the mountain tracks followed a fixed route, passing along
valley floors. This tour follows the route from Khorog to
Murgab, which was once the Shugnon branch of the ancient Silk
Road. Apart from trade caravans and military units, missionaries
and pilgrims passed along this road giving it the name Road
of Ideologies. Archaeological studies reveal the variety of
pre-Islamic religions of the people of Badakhshan, who worshipped
fire, the sun and the spirits of their ancestors, and practiced
a Badakhshan version of Buddhism.
