Where are the Pamirs located in Central Asia?

The Pamirs are a highland region in Central Asia centered on the Pamir Knot, a nodal orogenic uplift from which several major mountain ranges—including the Hindu Kush, Karakoram Range, Kunlun Mountains, and Tien Shan—radiate.1

While the core of the region is located in the Gorno-Badakhshan province of Tajikistan, the fringes of the Pamirs extend into Afghanistan, China, and Kyrgyzstan.1

The region's boundaries are defined by several geographic features:
* North: The ridges of the Trans-Alai Range.1
* South: The valleys of the Vākhān region (Wakhan Corridor) in Afghanistan.1
* East: The Sarykol pamir in the Xinjiang region of western China.1
* West: A series of southwestern-aligned valleys that drain into the Panj and Vakhsh rivers.1
