4200 metre marmots



Much of our time was spent following the Panj until we got to Khorog, from there we made the climb up to Alichur village, some 4200 metres above sea level. We passed some salt lakes along the way and saw marmots quite often. They are very shy and fast (for an over grown hamster) making them hard to get a good photo of them.They must be tough to live up in these mountains.


We left the marmots to it and went over the pass to follow the Ghundt River valley making our way to Novabod, collecting as we went with the plan to make a loop and return to Khorog for a few days.
