Pamirs

This website is dedicated to the children and other people of the Pamirs, a region they know as POMIR the roof of the world, although some claim that POMIR means feet of the sun. The Pamirs are one of the last "undiscovered" tourist destinations. This mountainous area, a large part of which is located in Gorno-Badakhshan in Tajikistan, is one of the most inaccessible in the world. A former British Ambassador to Tajikistan described the fascination and beauty of the region as one of the worlds best kept secrets. The website is sponsored as a non-profit activity by a few lovers of the region who want to share this secret with others who are in search of an unusual and challenging experience. In doing so, a supplementary goal is to bring additional revenue to the remarkable inhabitants of POMIR, among the poorest in the world, by encouraging travellers to go there.
