August 14, 2009 – A Photo Recap of Our 7 Days in Tajikistan: Part I
The Fann Mountains are beautiful, remote, full of stunning high alpine peaks, clear lakes and wonderful people. The photos will represent some of the lasting memories that will stay with each member of the 2009 BAI / IP Trek Fann Mountains Adventure.
Our first hour in Tajikistan we discovered that fresh sweet melons are as plentiful here as they are in Uzbekistan
