Video Description:

On the 2nd of October 2017, 8 strangers from different backgrounds all came together coincidentally to set out on a road trip across Central Asia for 8 days through the Pamir Highway, the second-highest highway in the world. An unlikely band of strangers traveling along one of the most remote roads in the world has led me to experience one of the best trips of my life.

We started our journey from Osh, Kyrgyzstan, and crossed the border to Tajikistan, and traveled through the mountainous region of the Pamir Mountains, passing by Karakul, Murghab, Bulunkul, Langar, Wakhan valley, Ishkashim, Khorog, and lastly Dushanbe.

There's something about taking a remote and disconnected multi-day trip that always leaves me aching for more days with these beautiful souls. We spent 8 days together day and night, experiencing amazing things together, killing boredom together, and, in the process, becoming great friends. This road trip is the definition of traveling miracles.

I hope you enjoy this road trip video as much as I do making them. What do you think of the video? Does it make you want to go on a road trip with us? Let me know in the comments!

Wondering what camera I am currently using? Here are all the camera gear I usually take with me when I am traveling:

Camera: Sony a7R V, the highest resolution full-frame camera out there, is my go-to camera when I travel. All of my recent photos and videos are all from this beast.
All-Around Travel Lens: Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II lens is the lens I mounted on my camera the most. The lens covers most of the ranges I need for travel from wide to telephoto. If I have to take only one lens with me on my travel, it would be this lens.
Ultra-Wide Lens: Sony 16-35mm F2.8 GM II Lnes: An ultra-wide lens I often use to shoot expansive landscapes and capture massive architecture I stumble upon while traveling.
Telephoto Lens: Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM II lens is one of the most versatile lenses to have. It is great for picking out details in landscapes and capturing wildlife when combined with the Sony FE 2x teleconverter.
Portrait Lens: Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG DN Lens is the most compact and lightweight 85mm F1.4 lens out there. It's sharp and produces stunning bokeh for subject separation, perfect for portraits and street photography.
Drone: DJI Mavic Mini 2, a perfect drone for those who travel light. It weighs less than 250g and smaller than an iPhone when folded and can capture 4K video as well as 12 megapixels RAW photos. More than enough for its size.
Bag: Langly Alpha Globetrotter is a camera bag I use to carry all these lenses as well as other essentials when I'm traveling.
