Why riding the Pamir highway?<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Before discovering Tajikistan, we dreamt of snow-capped peaks<\/strong> and long, dusty roads<\/strong>! In reality, we found much more: vast fertile valleys<\/strong>, home to charming villages<\/strong>, as well as numerous historical and prehistoric sites<\/strong>, testifying to the country’s cultural richness. But what touched us most was the warm welcome and generosity of the Pamir people<\/strong>. So if, like us, you like to get off the beaten track, explore vast wild spaces and meet authentic people, don’t hesitate! Tajikistan is the ideal terrain for a motorcycle trip<\/strong>! Take a look at our recommendeditinerary for a 2-week trip.<\/a><\/p>\n

Renting a motorcycle in Tajikistan or Kyrgyzstan?<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The second-highest road in the world<\/strong>, the Pamir Highway runs for over 1,200 km through the Pamir region, from Dushanbe in Tajikistan to Osh in Kyrgyzstan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Since 2023, the border between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan has reopened<\/strong>, making it possible to travel between Osh and Dushanbe via the Kyzyl Art<\/strong> border crossing. Nevertheless, given the conflicting geopolitical situation between the two countries, be sure to check that the border is open at the time of your trip, and what steps you need to take. We update Kyrgyzstan-Tajikistan border crossing information here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So which way to go on the Pamir route?<\/strong> Is it better to rent a motorcycle in Kyrgyzstan or Tajikistan?<\/p>\n

From Dushanbe to Osh, altitude gain is gradual, so acclimatization is easier. In the opposite direction, starting from Osh, the route is more spectacular as you reach 4000 m more quickly, but you’ll need to be more vigilant for symptoms of altitude sickness. It’s also worth noting thatit’s easier to find a motorcycle rental agency in Kyrgyzstan<\/strong>, as the offer is larger and more varied (see our selection of rental agencies in Bishkek and Osh here). Please note that not all Kyrgyz agencies authorize border crossings<\/strong>, for insurance and breakdown service reasons. Be sure to check! Rental agencies will also sometimes charge you extra<\/strong> if you don’t return the bike to its starting point.<\/p>\n

To prepare for your road trip in Kyrgyzstan, we recommend our Explore Kyrgyzstan guide<\/a> to the country’s 24 most beautiful itineraries.<\/p>\n

Please note that the Gorno-Badakshan region on the Pamir highway requires a GBAO permit<\/a>, which you can order online. We advise you to make your permit in advance!<\/p>\n

What you need to know before renting a motorcycle in Tajikistan<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

What documents do I need to drive a motorcycle in Tajikistan?<\/h3>\n

To drive in Central Asia<\/strong>, it is preferable (but not compulsory) to have an international driving license<\/strong>, especially in case of problems. Rental motorcycles are normally insured, but be sure to check what type of insurance is included<\/strong>. At the very least, make sure you have third-party liability<\/strong> insurance (covers only damage caused to third parties: pedestrians, cyclists, other motorists, etc.) and insurance covering damage to the rental motorcycle<\/strong>, particularly in the event of a collision.<\/p>\n

Note that locals rarely insure their cars, so we strongly recommend that you take out your own personal travel insurance(see our travel insurance comparison<\/a>). In the event of an accident or health problem, the insurance will cover your treatment abroad and repatriation if necessary. Be sure to check that your insurance covers motorcycle accidents.<\/p>\n

To travel in Pamir, you’ll also need a GBAO permit<\/a>. Please note that the procedures for crossing the border into Kyrgyzstan may change from time to time, so we update the information on border crossings in this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Road conditions on and around the Pamir Highway<\/h3>\n

When leaving the country’s major cities (Dushanbe, Khorog, etc.), expect to drive on roads in poor condition<\/strong>. Even though most of the Pamir road is asphalted, deformations<\/strong> and potholes<\/strong> are very common. Be careful, because there’s a tendency to speed up on asphalt stretches, but that’s a big mistake! You can quickly be surprised by the huge holes in the pavement. Apart from the M41, you’ll be riding mainly on dirt tracks in poor condition<\/strong>, put to the test by frequent flooding<\/strong> and landslides<\/strong>. It’s best to have a lightweight, trail-type motorcycle<\/strong> to travel with complete peace of mind on the roof of the world!<\/p>\n

What’s the ideal bike for a motorcycle road trip in Tajikistan?<\/h3>\n

A lightweight, trail-type motorcycle<\/strong> is ideal for a motorcycle trip in the Pamir. Roads are poorly maintained and put to the test by the mountainous climate (landslides, floods, frost, etc.). We recommend renting a motorcycle with good suspension, high ground clearance and off-road tires.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oibek has a fleet of Yamaha 600 XTe <\/strong>and Royal Enfield 450<\/strong>. These legendary bikes have everything a biker could want for a road-trip in Central Asia: reliability, lightness, sturdiness and power.<\/p>\n

On our first trip to Kyrgyzstan (2019), we rented a 600XT and liked it so much that we bought one two years later.<\/p>\n

Oibek speaks English and Russian. He gives very good advice on itineraries. He is based in Osh, Kyrgyzstan, but his bikes can also be ridden in Tajikistan (prices are higher in Tajikistan due to isolation and road conditions).<\/strong><\/p>\n

We had three countries done with Oibeks vehicle 80 series, the vehcile was not new and comfy but very durable and stable on off roads that\u2019s what we wanted, because we have our new comfy vehicle at home back in Canada, for off roading we suggesting his vehicles because they are capable to overland any conditions of the mountains, but please always ask Oibeks feedback about the car so he can tell you the weakness of the vehicle because they are not new and I am totally agreed with that.<\/span><\/p>\n

By the way we had not other rental company found with border crossing Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.<\/p><\/div><\/div> \n \n

My friend Nicki got communication with Oibek few months before Summer time, We had a great trip no matter in what conditions the weather was the Machine Land Cruiser 80 series did his job easily, I can say that SILKWAY is very professional company with many connections in the Pamir Mountains, although we have we knew and signed the agreement that the vehciles are not new at the collection day and they were from 90s and we were total agreed on the deal because the vehciles are made for such roads as Pamir mountains. My estimation is that if I bring my new TLC200 series in to Pamirs it may also break no matter how we operate.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div> \n \n

I booked a car with Oibek. We just asked any car that fits 3 persons and our route. We had some communication issues about the dates, schedules etc. I definitely recommend moving to WhatsApp after initial contact to get replies a bit faster than 2 weeks.<\/p>\n

However when we arrived to Osh things started to go much smoother, though we were informed that we need to visit public notary that opens at 10 am so it caused a bit of delay so in the end we were able to depart at 11:00. Land cruise 80 was old and it has seen engine change – Registration papers and name plate said it had petrol engine, but it was in fact diesel without turbo, but it did not cause any issues.. just don’t expect any performance up in the mountains. Total kilometres said 440 000, but based on tear and wear of shift stick etc it could have been 1 440 000. Seats were also changed at some point. Gear number 3 synchronisation was non existent so changing to that gear was a bit challenge. At end of our trip we encountered a small leak in cooling system and brakes. As it was on our way back to Osh Airport (we agreed to return car there) it did not cause issues to our trip.<\/span><\/p>\n

So whole experience was completely in line with my expectations operating in the area. Most of things don’t work but things will work out.<\/p><\/div><\/div> \n \n

I absolutely do not recommend this company and cars rented by Oybek.<\/p>\n

We rented two cars for the Pamir Highway. Both were in terrible condition. Throughout the entire trip, we had constant problems: a broken driver\u2019s seat, overheating engines, a non-functioning thermostat, cracked radiator hoses, issues with the right front wheel, and most likely a faulty driveshaft. We had to repair the cars every single day.<\/span><\/p>\n

We were also offered a third vehicle for the trip, which was in a similarly awful condition. It had poor brakes and transmission problems. Previous renters, whom we personally met on the road, had also complained about the same issues. The vehicle was offered to us for free so that we could deliver it to Osh.<\/p>\n

While driving through the mountains, the brakes failed critically, putting the crew\u2019s lives at serious risk. The rental owner reacted only with anger that the car had been left inoperable on the road.<\/p>\n

We managed to deliver the remaining two vehicles to Osh. Despite the numerous repairs we carried out\u2014returning the cars in better condition than when we received them\u2014the owner refused to return our deposit. In total, we lost more than $2,000, which the owner, Oybek (Oibek), is refusing to refund.<\/p>\n

An absolutely unreliable business. Cars in terrible condition. Avoid at all costs. My friends rented a bike from Oybek. Also terrible experience, kept breaking down all the time.<\/p><\/div><\/div> \n \n

We had rented the Toyota land cruisers 80 series summer of 2025 which other companies do not have one, 4×4 has independent diff lock system, and other companies are not renting for other countries like Tajikistan. Oibek’s vehicles are able to cross Pamir Highway if you are a good driver or you may stuck because of lack of experience in such conditions as Pamir.<\/span><\/p>\n

Breakdowns are common things if it is even new vehicles and it is also depends from our ability how to operate in such off-road conditions. Overall i recommend Oibek’s tough machines for your trip in Central Asia especially in the Pamirs.<\/p><\/div><\/div> \n \n

We were driving Oibek’s TLC 80 Series and had a wonderful time in May 2025, Oibek’s fleet is not new but well maintained, and i understood that few issues like (ignition, air conditioning and electrical) problems happened on roads and it is age of the car also i believe unpaved road conditions which caused failures. Oibek gave us quick help by contacting to mechanics in Pamirs and add some days for lost ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oibeks connections really helped us even no matter where we were Kyrgyzstan or Pamirs. Overall the vehicles of Oibek could only cross the south border (from Kyrgyzstan) and there is no other companies are able to rent towards Pamir as we could not find one.<\/p>\n

Pamir highway roads are terrible and Legendary TLC 80 series able to cross at 4500m via Bartang valey revers and we believe the most important TLC 80 got two axels which is very helpful for such road conditions.<\/p><\/div><\/div> \n \n

Biens\u00fbr il ne s’agit pas d’un v\u00e9hicule neuf et nous avons eu des r\u00e9parations \u00e0 faire le long de notre chemin et quelques soucis m\u00e9caniques, mais Oibek a toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 disponible pour nous assister, nous orienter vers des m\u00e9caniciens et \u00e9changer avec eux pour les r\u00e9parations, quel que soit le pays dans lequel nous nous trouvions et nous avons toujours pu repartir !<\/span><\/p>\n

Le v\u00e9hicule est tr\u00e8s adapt\u00e9 aux pistes difficiles !<\/p>\n

Nous recommandons Oibek pour sa r\u00e9activit\u00e9 et son assistance.<\/p><\/div><\/div> \n \n

I live in New York city and in my life i saw many individuals. Oibek was one of the honest persons i had been in touch with in my life.<\/p>\n

To be honest the vehicle Oibek provided was perfectly maintained, if even it was old vehicle 1997 Lexus lx450 which is same as TLC80 series it showed itself strongly to overtake the overland called Pamir Highway. As i carefully listened Oibek giving me instructions before the trip which is very helpful from his side.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pamir roads are not regular asphalt roads and any car no matter new or old will fail if the driver is not well prepared, if you have small skills how to operate 4×4 vehicle then you are ready, otherwise Oibek is there to help.<\/p>\n

Vehicle we have rented was very ready, and after driving 1000kms we had battery failures of the car, by the way battery tightness was tight perfectly in Osh, same for starter bolts, after we have contacted to Oibek and he advised me to look first for the screws and bolts of the battery and starter which was very helpful which solved the situation quickly and i understood the road shaking and harsh road conditions caused these failures happened, which we managed to solve quickly, because i was ready for such a trip. I am not blaming Oibek for that as the Julia and Marcus wrote earlier on review because they are not professionals or they are hiding a story behind which will be also to tell about it on review .<\/p>\n

My opinion please ask each condition of the roads of the Pamir and Kyrgyzstan and about the vehicle from Oibek because he knows a lot and i highly recommend him.<\/p><\/div><\/div> \n \n

We strongly advise against renting a vehicle from Oibek!<\/p>\n

Of course, rental vehicle prices in Kyrgyzstan are generally high \u2013 this is also the case with other providers. But with Oibek, a number of serious problems arose:<\/p>\n

– We did not receive the vehicle we had originally booked.<\/p>\n

– The roof tent we had booked as an extra was not available at first \u2013 we had to pick it up ourselves from Oibek later and install it ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

– The interior of the vehicle was in very poor condition: untidy, partly dirty, with old socks and even tablets lying around inside.<\/p>\n

– The car was completely stuffed with spare parts, leaving hardly any room for our own luggage.<\/p>\n

– Despite the promise of a \u2018fully equipped camping kitchen\u2019, basic items were missing: no gas cooker, no refrigerator, no sharp knives, no cutting board. All that was available was a dirty set of dishes and two pots.<\/p>\n

Technical condition of the vehicle:<\/p>\n

– Constant loud noises while driving. My husband (a mechanic) had to remove the stabiliser and replace the rubber seals between the chassis and frame every few days.<\/p>\n

– The vehicle repeatedly failed to start because the battery mounts had slipped. There were even loose screws (!!) screwed into the battery.<\/p>\n

This resulted in hours of repairs on the road.<\/p>\n

Further experiences:<\/p>\n

We met two Israelis who had also rented from Oibek. They told us a day later that their vehicle even had to be towed after a visit to the garage.<\/p>\n

Although we originally wanted to drive the Pamir Highway, the vehicle was definitely not suitable in this condition. We had to change our plans and stay in the country. Despite all the massive defects, we did not receive any discount.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: Overall, a very disappointing experience. For the prices charged, this service is absolutely unacceptable. Cleanliness, reliability and, above all, technical safety are not to be expected at Oibek. We would not wish such an experience on anyone.<\/p><\/div><\/div> \n \n

Dear OunTravela team,<\/p>\n

We are currently traveling as a family in Kyrgyzstan, following your travel guide. We rented a vehicle through Oibeck, as suggested in your guide, for our two-week trip with our three children.<\/p>\n

We are used to off-road adventures \u2013 we have traveled through Mongolia, the Namibian desert, and many other countries with our own 4×4. Unfortunately, the car we were provided with in Kyrgyzstan was in very poor condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 First, we faced brake problems, then a battery failure, then tire issues, and finally a starter breakdown.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Because of these repeated failures, we lost 4 full days of our trip.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At one point, we had to sleep by the roadside, just to be sure we could get help if the car would not start again.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Today, we are stuck in a hotel with our three children, waiting for my husband to find yet another garage \u2013 the third time during this trip.<\/p>\n

The person who rented us the car spoke very good English and was always available on the phone, but he simply did not do his job properly. He put my family and myself in danger by providing a vehicle in such bad condition.<\/p>\n

In addition, the camping equipment included was almost non-existent. We even had to buy a table ourselves in Bishkek.<\/p>\n

We feel it is important to share this experience with you. Our adventure could easily happen to other families. We strongly recommend that you carefully check the type and condition of the vehicles you list in your guide before suggesting them to future travelers.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your attention, and we hope our feedback will help improve the safety and reliability of your travel guide.<\/p>\n

Best regards,<\/p><\/div><\/div> \n \n

Highly recommended! We got a 2023 Mitsubishi Montero ( which is a Pajero in other parts of the world) had ondly 3000 km. Routes 6,8,and 16 were no problem at all in dry conditions ( different story with rain as the car came with stock tyres. But they have to be chanched to real AT tyres sooner or later anyway. The car was fully equipped with a bottle jack, spare tyre, tyre repair kit, air compressor, recovery strap, jumper cable , shovel and a 20 liter canister. Only thing not available are recovery boards. The contract is in English and transparent. Pickup or dropoff at the airport or hotel for 15 USD. All routes in the book are included within the contract<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div> \n \n

We had a perfect rental experience with Oibek. The Toyota Prado was exactly what we needed. Oibek gave us useful informations how to drive it and I would highly recommend him. We had all the correct paperwork and no problem with this strong Toyota. Many thanks!<\/p><\/div><\/div> \n \n
