Welcome to the GBAO (Pamir) Tourist Information Center

This is a project test page — used to check how the chatbot works and how the future center website will be structured. Ask the assistant in the bottom-right corner any time — it answers based on the center's verified knowledge base.

If the bot can't answer — it will say so honestly and offer to connect you with us directly by WhatsApp or email.

When to go. The best time to visit the Pamirs is May–September: high-altitude passes are open and yurt camps operate during this period (for example, at Lake Karakul). See the "Map & Places" page for seasonal details on specific destinations.

About data status. Some of the information on this site and in the bot's answers is a draft, collected from public tourism sources and awaiting final verification by the center (marked separately on each page). This is a test version for internal review, not the final site.
