Enter this month's Where Are You? competition and you could win a seven-night holiday here for a family of four. The prize, worth £8,000, includes accommodation in interconnecting Club rooms, all inclusive (with drinks), as well as return Air Mauritius flights from London and transfers. The holiday must be taken by 31 December 2015, subject to availability, excluding dates over Christmas and New Year.
Identify the location on page 168 of Cond! Nast Traveller April 2015, and send in your entry to arrive by 30 April 2015. All correct entries will also be included in the Grand Prize draw at the end of the current competition period (1 October 2014-30 September 2015).
Clue: The daffodils may be blooming in England but in the eastern region of this mountain range - one of the highest and most inaccessible on the planet - it will still be winter, which lasts for more than eight months of the year. The temperature can drop as low as -63˚C, and snowfall during the summer is not unusual. Neither are earthquakes.
If you're tempted by the idea of a holiday here, the western region will be more appealing, with its almost balmy weather and pretty upland meadows grazed by herds of sheep. You might also spy a marmot, a snow leopard or even a brown bear - and, way up above the treeline, encounter a convoy of merchants negotiating the treacherous track, relying on sure-footed yaks to gain access to a lower valley.
This was part of a major trading route for centuries, and the convoy is following in the footsteps of Alexander the Great, Marco Polo and Genghis Khan. Despite the incredible landscapes, this region is rarely visited by world leaders nowadays - but its isolation makes it ideal for escaping the nine-to-five. Where are you?
Where are you? Identify the location of the photograph on page 168 of the April 2015 issue for the chance to win a family holiday in Mauritius
Answer: Pamir Mountains (thanks to myrrh and ianmurf)

A search on google images gives the location as the Wakhan National Park in AfghanistanI woke up last night to find the ghost of Gloria Gaynor standing at the foot of my bed.
At first I was afraid.......then I was petrified.…0
