With northern Route you mean the northern part from Dushanbe to Khaleikumb?
This is much more offroad than the southern part.
I think the northern route is slower than the southern route.
I did both routes.
Southern part from Dushanbe to Khaleikumb is easy doable in 1 day, northern route only if you start very early, and don't take to much rest. And you should not have an problem.
We did not make it in one day.
with 8 people, it is definitely harder to find accommodation, but should be possible.
