Obihingoo

Not exactly in the Pamirs - first valley to the North. Access - easy, but the region is very politically unstable: the center of Tadjik opposition. It is a very sad fact, since the river is worth going. It is enormously big and very difficult, especially in its lower canyon. We were on this river in the spring 1993 before Tadjik war, it had too much water; after we were robbed in Tavildara (war epicenter one year later) we quit the river. After that we kayaked Varzob near Dushanbe - much nicer river and did a trek in the vicinity. Everything was very interesting and exotic.
