Yakkahona - Yagnob valley

In the morning, the journey begins by leaving the village of Yakkahona and descending the Urech Gorge, passing near Lake Kalikalon, nestled in the heart of the mountains. The path continues to the paved road that runs alongside the Kishrud River and traverses a valley with colorful and contrasting landscapes. This road leads to the vast Zeravshan Valley, which is followed eastward to the town of Aïni. From there, the route turns south to follow the Fan River Valley. Shortly after, the main route is left to take the old road through the Yagnob Valley, once used to cross the Anzob Pass. Since the construction of the Istiklol Tunnel, this valley has become even more remote and preserved. By the end of the day, arrival at the village of Margib and accommodation in a traditional guesthouse.
