What are the most spectacular roads in Uzbekistan?

Located in the central part of Asia, Uzbekistan covers an area of 447,000 square kilometers. It shares borders with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan.

The country hosts hundreds of interesting drives, especially on mountains, as the country comprises the Tian Shan and Pamir-Alai mountain ranges. Don’t miss the Pamir Highway, the second highest altitude international highway in the world. It’s an excellent challenge for 4x4 adventure travelers. The road is heavily damaged in places by erosion, earthquakes, landslides, and avalanches. Being a mountainous country in parts, you can’t miss driving the hairpinned road to Kamchik Pass, a mountain pass at 2.200m (7,217ft) above sea level, in the far eastern part of the country.

However, the last times, exercise a high degree of caution when travelling there, due to the threat of terrorism and violent crime and the risk of civil unrest. Before embarking on any drive, remember its climate varies from arid desert conditions in the west to continental climate in the east, with hot summers and cold winters.
