The Land Cruiser grinds upward, dust devils skittering across the track, and the air thins until the mountains start to feel alive — wind riffing through grass and shepherds’ bells. On day one you cross the Sani Pass, an abrupt throat of rock and scree that opens to highland plateaus and small stone villages where horse bells set the tempo.
