The Fading Road Through No Man's Land The Pamir Highway, a notorious thoroughfare through Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, has been touted as one of the most remote and treacherous roads in the world.
Stretching 22 kilometers across the high altitude expanse known as No Man's Land, this road was planned by Lieutenant Colonel Bronislav Grombchevsky in 1891 as a strategic lifeline for Russian expansion into Central Asia.
Construction on the Pamir Highway was shrouded in mystery and tragedy.
