Wakhan in the Pamir region of Eastern Afghanistan is home to the last Kyrgyz nomads who live in the most isolated high-altitude community on the planet. Tucked away in their mountain camps at 4,300 metres above sea level, only 1,200 of them survive as best they can.
While globalisation threatens to swallow them up, the Kyrgyz people of the Afghan Pamir must fight for their survival, and to preserve their ways of life and unique traditions.
Discover from an insider’s point of view how the Kyrgyz community functions and the challenges it faces. Will these people survive here, or must they start looking for a future elsewhere?
