Pamir Mountains

The Pamir Mountains, often referred to as the "Roof of the World," are a major mountain range located in Central Asia, primarily in Tajikistan, but also extending into Afghanistan, China, and Pakistan. This rugged region is known for its high peaks, including some of the highest in the world, such as Ismoil Somoni Peak. The Pamirs are significant for their diverse ecosystems, rich biodiversity, and cultural heritage, home to various ethnic groups. The mountains also serve as a crucial watershed, influencing the climate and water supply in the surrounding areas, making them vital for the region's agriculture and environment.
