D-3: Tajikistan: Maps

Yesterday evening, I finished to print the collection of maps I need for my treks. I used the 1:100,000 military maps I've founded on numerical library of the Berkeley. I did not used the output of the interactive map of the CDE program of the Bern University, since they are based on a 1:200,000 map. However, I've used the latter since trails are better marked: I reproduced the trails noticed in the Bern's map on the 1;100,000 printed map.

I've cutted the map in A4 pieces and reinforced them with transparent cover. With them, I formed a small booklet with the region of the lake Yashikul, the valley of Shakhdara and Ishkashim, as well as the lake Iskenderkul in the case where I wouldn't go to Afghanistan.

On Afghanistan: Even if the maps are supposed to be russian maps on Tajikistan, its borders with Afghanistan can also be found. I then printed the region of the Shiva lake, at the border with Khorog. Just in case.

Apart from these trekking maps, I bought the M. Hauser map on the tajik Pamir (1:500,00) as well as a general Central Asia map.

Less than 3 days left...
