This will NEVER work – Tajikistan 🇹🇯 | S8, EP93
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This episode follows a motorcycle journey out of Dushanbe, Tajikistan, as the rider prepares to continue toward the Pamir Mountains. With two permits secured, the focus is on setting out by a different route from the one taken on an earlier visit in 2019.
About this film
Season 8, “To the Far East,” places this episode within Itchy Boots’ continuing motorcycle-travel series. Its central story is a departure from Dushanbe and the next stage of travel toward the Pamir Mountains. The description establishes the practical threshold for that move: two permits are in hand, and the rider is ready to leave. It also gives a clear point of comparison with the creator’s previous time in Tajikistan, when she visited in 2019. This time, the intended route is different. The film’s title hints at uncertainty, but the available description does not explain what that refers to, so the confirmed premise is the onward journey rather than a specific obstacle or outcome.
The journey
The route described begins in Dushanbe and heads onward toward the Pamir Mountains. No intermediate stops, road names, distance, or riding conditions are specified, so the journey is best understood as a transition from the city toward the mountain region rather than as a detailed route guide. The key change from the 2019 visit is the choice of a different way through Tajikistan. That gives the episode a simple travel question: what will this alternative line toward the Pamirs involve? The source confirms the destination and the intention to ride there, but offers no account of the route’s terrain, weather, or eventual progress.
People, places and moments
Dushanbe is the departure point, and the Pamir Mountains are the stated goal. The permits matter as part of the preparation to continue, while the comparison with 2019 gives this leg some context: Tajikistan is not entirely new to the rider, but this journey is planned differently. Beyond that, the supplied information does not identify other people or encounters. Viewers can expect an episode centred on setting off and looking ahead to mountain travel, without assuming that the description reveals what happens after departure. The listed runtime is 22 minutes and 45 seconds.
What to expect
- A motorcycle departure from Dushanbe toward the Pamir Mountains
- Two permits secured before setting out
- A route different from the creator’s 2019 visit to Tajikistan
