Tajikistan’s region of Khorog was a stunner of a discovery. Situated on the very border with Afghanistan and rich in clean air, beautiful mountain views, healing waters, and of course heroin, Khorog amazed me to no end. Despite a three-day bout with food poisoning, and several slightly pants-wetting flights, my journey to Khorog made for one of my most memorable work trips. This picture was taken by my fantastic co-worker Mauro – yes, that is the glory of the Pamir, home to Communism Peak. You might mess with the idea, but you never mess with its height.
