Suddenly I’m Bleeding: A Journey Through Bartang Valley, Tajikistan
In the remote heart of Tajikistan, the Bartang Valley unfolds like a hidden gem, surrounded by jagged peaks and roaring rivers. As I navigate this breathtaking landscape in my latest adventure, I find myself embarking on an unexpected journey—a stark reminder that nature often has its own plans.
In part two of my series, I delve deeper into the formidable rivers that crisscross this captivating valley, joined by two local guides, Amros and Hamed. Together, we face not only the turbulent waters but also the steep ascent to the breathtaking plateau perched at an astonishing 4000 meters. What began as a routine crossing quickly turns into a battle against the elements, and suddenly, I find myself bleeding—a harsh but poignant testament to the unpredictability of adventure.
Join me as I share the thrill and challenges of traversing this stunning yet unforgiving terrain, and discover why the Bartang Valley demands respect from all who venture into its embrace. It’s a journey filled with awe, adversity, and the spirit of exploration that keeps us yearning for more.
