HELITOUR: VIP HELICOPTER FLIGHT OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF PAMIR (TRAVELCODE: 1809)


The spectacular mountain scenery of the Pamirs brings travelers for centuries to marvel. Alexander the Great and later Marco Polo were the first Europeans who have described the high plateau of Pamir in their travelogues. Extreme, moon-like landscapes with beautiful partly huge mountain lakes and countless mountain peaks with an altitude of over 7000 m, where go down the longest glacier in the world.
Pamir's translated from Farsi "roof of the world" ("Pa-mi-it"). This colossal mountains actually seem to touch the sky when you look up from the bottom to the top. And if one is looking down from the top an equally clear that the Pamir is a hub from which in all directions, the highest mountain systems in the world, such as the Karakoram and the Himalayas in the south of the Hindu Kush to the west and the Tian Shan Mountains spread in the north-east.
But the beauty of the area remains denied to most people. Few experienced climbers have ventured after years of preparation, under high effort and huge amount of time on the summit of the Pamir to experience an unforgettable view.
We offer exclusive views of the natural beauty of the Pamir Mountains of several kilometers high. Without preparation and in only one day.
From Dushanbe take a helicopter flight over the famous Wakhan Corridor to the mountain plateau of Pamir. Like in the movies you see green valleys, which are shared by the canyons of the rushing mountain rivers, an ocean of snow white and sky blue mountains and glaciers that flow down like giant rivers of ice, the sky-high mountains pass under your feet.

During the flight, you have the unique opportunity to marvel at some of the natural wonders of our planet:

• Ismoil Somoni Peak (ehm. Communism Peak) is 7495 meters is the highest mountain of Tajikistan and the ehm. Sowiet Union. Even in the high mountains of the Pamirs, the Colossus stands out for its height and width of the surrounding peaks and along with the massive glaciers that formed embrace him like giant tongues of ice indescribable, amazing picture. The current name of the mountain passes to the Tajik "father of the nation", the Sammanidenherrscher Ismail I. Back.
• Fedchenko Glacier is 70 km in length with a width of between 2 and 3 km of the world's longest glaciers outside the polar regions.
• Sarez lake was established on 18 February 1911 by a massive landslide that by an earthquake of magnitude 8 to 9. suspected Richter scale triggered and the deep valley of the river Murghab completely sealed off. The left by the landslide and named after the village buried Usoi dam is about 567 m high at the highest point of its dam. He is the highest naturally occurring dam of the earth. The area around the lake was closed for a long time and recently can not be re-entered. Therefore, the lake has so far remained largely inaccessible to tourists.
