In this episode we hang out with other overlanders at the Green House in Dushanbe then venture through the Tunnel of Death and head into the Fann mountains!
The Green House Hostel is a little overlander’s mecca in Dushanbe. We hung out with people doing similar trips to ours from all over the world. Some of them are still good friends to this day. A great starting point for this episode. James used the time to do some much needed TLC to his bike.
While we were there we were told about the Tunnel of Death. The tunnel connects the Capital city Dushanbe to the second largest city Khujand. it is a 5km tunnel that is considered one of the most dangerous tunnels in the world due to the low light and bad ventilation.
from there we camped at Iskanderkul. Unfortunately for us the weather wasnt playing ball, but you can still see how beautiful this part of Tajikistan is. From Iskanderkul it is just a short hop over to Sarytag, a beautiful little village in the Fann Mountains
It was then time to do the 7 lakes. We rode our DR650s all the way to the 7th lake at the top and spent the night camping on the water edge.
We say it in every country we travelled through, but Tajikistan far exceeded our expectations. We thought we would stay just 10 days but we ended up staying 18 and we were sad to leave. This country is fantastic.

Rainy Sunday in Hobart today, so we were PUMPED to see you guys had released another video. We were starting to suffer withdrawals 🤣 Tajikistan has been on my bucket list for over 10 years, and after your videos I’m even more excited to visit 😁🤩

You had me laughing out loud over here at the Tunnel of Death experience! Thanks for sharing yet another great glimpse into Tajikistan.
Great episode guys, some fantastic camping spots there 🙂
So glad you guys are back!! I check every week and thought you’d abandoned the channel. This made my day
Class as always lads
I discovered you guys after catching a stomach virus in Indo. 5 days couch bound binge watching your incredible series! I’m inspired! Thank you 🙏
these videos are incredible and they're inspiring me to plan my own trip, keep em coming!!
You guys got so lucky not having crazy traffic going through there. I drove through there in a Fiat panda that I paid $500 for in London and drove all the way to Siberia. When I went through the tunnel of death it was bumper-to-bumper dump truck traffic it was scariest part of driving over the 18,000 miles that we did. You could barely breathe there was so much exhaust in the tunnel and the trucks were overtaking each other, It was crazy.
Awesome video thanks for making it!
Amazing!!!!
Well….I discovered this channel before work Friday morning. Have just finished watching every episode by Sunday arvo. You've got my attention!
