Mountains in the Wakhan Corridor

The area, known as "the roof of the world", has been slowly
re-developing a viable tourist trade following a number of recent
international trekking and mountaineering expeditions including an
ascent of Noshaq, Afghanistan's highest mountain
(7492m).

Guide Book Available - Peaks of Silver & Jade

Back in the 60's and 70's Afghanistan's Hindu Kush mountains were a major draw for mountaineers
who appreciated the virtually guaranteed good weather, great climbing and short approaches.

Written by Carlo Alberto Pinelli and Gianni Predan, this extraordinary guide book provides detailed
maps, diagrams and text describing the routes taken by previous expeditions and suggestions for first
ascents.

This guidebook has previously only been available from the tourism offices in north east Afghanistan,
buy it now from Mountain Unity International, and be one of the first to be able to plan an expedition to
the Afghan Hindu Kush which has remained largely unvisited since 1978.
