I have always been fascinated by the beautiful mountains of Badakhshan-a region comprising much of Eastern Tajikistan and Northeastern Afghanistan

The Pamir range is most prominent in Tajikistan but also stretches into the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan.
I thought it would be great to share some pictures of this beautiful mountain range.

Perhaps we could do a series on Mountain ranges and particularly the ones that are most relevant to the Persian people.

Our ranges we might want to consider:
- Zagros
- Qafqaaz (Caucasus)
- Alborz
- Hindu Kush

The Pamir have the highest peaks and so i'll cover them first.
Perhaps i can add a few pictures everyday and others can help.

Yes Bakhshan is very beautiful with its fresh water and high towering montains and green valleys.

Here are some more pics of Badakhshan, Afghanistan.

Thank you for your input.
It would be great if everyone could add a few pictures.
We dont have many members at this forum and so I think we would have the greatest impact if we left it as an archive for our future generations.
That way, they would have some sort of ideological and intellectual bridge to the past.

The "fresh water" you speak of is also what really appeals to me.
I love mountain springs and i suppose that there must be many springs in Badakhshan. There is nothing like climbing for hours in the summer heat and dipping your head in ice-cold spring water when you get to the top.
I remember when i was a child my father and I would go to the Mosha area near Damavand during the weekends and every thursday we would climb a nearby mountain which had a spring near the top. We would drink some water and then i would lie down next to my father and he would tell me stories about Timur e lang
The air was extremely crisp.
Now, those were the Alborz mountains and the Pamirs make the alborz look like hills. I can only imagine what the Pamirs would be like.

Here is a great link:
