This September saw us heading back to the Fann Mountains of Tajikistan for the third time in twelve months, this time with a group of private clients. Our plan was to start in the local village of Ghazza, explore the region around Big Alo Lake, and then cross the 'Porcupine Pass' to descend towards the fabulous Lake of Alexander. The name of the pass is perplexing, with not a porcupine in sight! We did however spot eagles, bearded vultures and evidence of bears, while the fresh snowfall and dramatic early morning weather made it another classic expedition day!
