Little Pamir

The Aksu or Murghab River flows east from the lake through the Little Pamir to enter Tajikistan at the eastern end of the valley.

[7] The naturalist George Schaller has advocated the creation of an international peace park to protect the wildlife in the area.

[2] A rough road also leads to the Little Pamir from Murghab in Tajikistan, and was the route by which the Soviets occupied the eastern part of Wakhan.

In 2000 the road was used to deliver humanitarian aid to the Kyrgyz of the Little Pamir,[9] and in 2003 a trade fair was held at the border for a few hours.

[1] During the late-2000s, due to lawlessness, the Kyrgyz in Afghanistan reported robbery and theft in Little Pamir by bandits from Tajikistan.
