D-3: Afghan Pamir: Disscussion with a french traveller

I had a very interesting discussion with Regis, which is also called route on the voyageforum and thorntree. He just comes back from Northern Afghanistan where he trekked in the wakhan, as well as the little and great pamir.

His voice seems to indicate a quiet man who doesn't exaggerate his travel but explain smoothly what he did. If I would compare this discussion with the one I had with Ariane Perret, the swiss journalist, I would characterize her voice to be the one of a half-hysterical woman. He gave me a lot of useful informations on the transport and accomodation in the Badakhshan, as well as some personnal impression on the nowadays situation in the region, with the game with the different warlords and letter of introductions. I will not list here his advices.

In short, I told me that the road between Ishkashim and Feizabad is broken at Goushim. There, we should change the car. Moreover, I didn't know that the buses start at 4-5 am! He gave me the address of some hotel and guesthouse and advised me not a chaikhana without indian music clip in Ishkashim. ;-) He mentioned some tensions in Baharak between some warlords but felt himself in safety there.
