Central Asia is truly underrated. Hope you can attract people from all over the world through your efforts.

[@lewieandtherover]

I hope so because it has so much to offer!!! ❤️

[@simonemagnano9437]

​@@lewieandtheroveri think that in a certain prospective It has a lot to offer because It is not very visited...immagine this places with well paved streets, hotels, Buildings etc etc It'd lose all of ita attractive for Adventure

Guys, your journey is awesome but remember safety when you go offroad, wear boots and use pulley with winch, always! Keep going!💪🏼

Pamir Highway is definitely on my bucketlist... I dont think it will happen (kids and stuff) so instead I will have to watch your videos :)

[@lewieandtherover]

Well maybe in the future it is totally worth it!

[@Professor_Internet_PhD]

Quality videos but they do make it all seem that a journey like this is all very easy peasy and nothing but joy and happiness, no stress at all. Even when you get stuck in the middle of nowhere there is a joyous atmosphere about it, though it should normally be pretty stressful.

[@lewieandtherover]

Haha well after such a long time on the road getting stuck is not really a thing to worry about if you are with other people!

[@lewieandtherover]

We would love to visit one day!

[@LucasTJahn]

These vast landscapes are incredible! And most of that above 4000 m is just mind-blowing. How did you manage with the altitude?

[@lewieandtherover]

Definitely! It’s hard to believe we were actually there! We came from Kyrgyzstan where we already spent a couple of weeks around 3000m so our bodies adjusted slowly. Still we had some light symptoms but not too bad 😊 The car had more trouble getting started in the morning haha

[@LucasTJahn]

@@lewieandtherover Ah yeah, that is helpful 😁 I imagine a lot of smoke coming out of the exhaust every morning 😅

[@jvjjjvvv9157]

@@LucasTJahn I did most of this route by bicycle and barely ever felt a thing. People's bodies handle altitude differently, but I personally remember ascending from 2000m in Khorog to 4300m at a mountain pass two or three days later, and the moment when I was going over the pass dragging the bicycle on that awful road covered with loose stones was the only time I really felt that it was harder to breathe. I think that as long as you give your body a few days to climatize, you should be fine.

[@Hugues.L]

Courageous. The Defender that got stuck does not seem to have differential lockers on front wheels. It is a nice option to have when you venture in this type of terrain.

[@lewieandtherover]

It had diff lock on!
