Khargush

Khargush is a small hamlet in the Tajik Pamirs located 3900 meters south of the Khargush pass (4344 meters above sea level). Nothing really interesting, it's mostly a border guard post. It is also the intersection between the road that leads to the Khargush pass to the north, Lake Zorkul and its nature reserve to the east and the village of Langar to the west. There are a few guesthouses on the farms in the village. The panorama on the Vakhan range is impressive. Kohe Belandtarin peak is over 6200 meters, and its altitude is disputed, but it is one of the highest peaks in Afghanistan.
