Pamir River

Pamir is a river in Tajikistan and Afghanistan. It is the right tributary of the Panj River.

The river has its sorces in the Pamir Mountains in Gorno-Badakhshan province in the far eastern part of Tajikistan. It starts from the lake Zorkul, at a height of 4130 meters, and then flows towards the west, an later southwest. At the town of "Langar", at 2799 m, southeast of the 6726 meter high Karl Marx Peak, it joins the Wakhan River and forms the Panj River. The Pamir forms the boundary between Tajikistan and Afghanistan along its entire length.
