About Pamir National Park

Pamir National Park
 

Pamir National Park, also known as Tajik National Park, spans one of the highest mountain ranges in the world, offering a rich play of geographical features and biodiversity. The park encompasses approximately 6.5 million acres, making it a haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Its mountains, including the notably high Peak Ismoil Somoni, provide dramatic backdrops and are part of the Pamir-Alay system. The park's unique ecosystem supports rare and endangered species, including the snow leopard and Marco Polo sheep. The area is both a natural and cultural treasure, with traces of ancient Silk Road routes and local traditions still vibrant among its communities. Recreational opportunities abound, from challenging trails for hikers and climbers to serene valleys for camping and wildlife watching. Pamir National Park was established in 1992 and became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2013, validating its global importance and pristine nature.
