Kunjerab Pass
Hi Pechar & Omar,
To be on the safe side, assume the Kunjerab Pass is open from spring through to mid-October. It all depends when the snows come. They have normally arrived by Nov, but this year they stopped me from crossing the Barbusar Pass further south (c4,200m vs Kunjerab c4,600m) around mid-to-late-Oct.
If you're coming through the Stans from Europe, which is a fine balancing act of timing, then you'll probably reach Kunjerab by early Sept, anyway, which is fine (e.g. Turkey April, Iran May, Uzbekistan June including 5-day transit through Turkmenistan, Tajikistan July, Kyrgyzstan August .. . the last two key, since you want mid-Summer to make sure passes are open and river levels low).
Cheers,
Bob
