Hike to Mount Chorbed, Varzob Gorge, Tajikistan

Mount Chorbed, 2022 meters high, is clearly visible from the city of Dushanbe. It is the first high mountain on the right side of the road when looking from Dushanbe towards Varzob. Mount Chorbed itself is located between the Kharangon Gorge and the 21 km Gorge, meaning between the Kharangon and Darifanfarok rivers, respectively. The mountain is not very high, and you can ascend it via several routes. We decided to climb Mount Chorbed through the village of Fanfarok. To do this, we got out of a marshrutka in the village of Shaftimichgon, near the gas station, right where the trail leading to the village of Fanfarok begins.
