About us
Pamir Hotel stands in the centre of Murghab, right on the M41, at 3,600 m above sea level. It is the highest point on the Osh — Khorog route where you can get a proper night of sleep, a hot shower and a hot meal.
The Pamir Highway is the only road linking Osh and Khorog, and it runs straight through Murghab. In summer we host motorcyclists and cyclists from all over the world; in winter, truck drivers and geologists. The glass entrance is covered with stickers left by everyone who has stayed here.
