This is me, I think, standing in a spot that I had dreamed about visiting since about 1999 - the border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan in a remote town, Khorog, home of a large number of Ismailis. You can only get here by a windy, slow, mountain road from Duschanbe, or by helicopter or very small jet provided there is little or no cloud cover. I am standing here on what was once the Aga Khan's residence in Khorog and behind me is the river, beyond which is Afghanistan. Apparently this border has been one of the weak links between the two countries and has been patrolled by Russian military units until recently.
