In Wakhan Corridor

Public transport is limited in the Wakhan and many tourists explore the Tajik side of the valley on bicycles and seem to enjoy the experience. For public transport, though, there is one semi-regular bus that runs from the main street in Ishkashim all the way through to Langar. Other options include share-taxis (more expensive but also much faster than the bus), hitching (though often these rides will expect some payment as well), or walking. Most likely, an extended journey will rely on a combination of all of the above over the course of going up and down the Wakhan.
