Tajikistan Tours

To protect yourself from the extreme weather, especially in the Pamirs, bring wool sweaters, a windproof jacket, a down jacket, and waterproof boots, as well as antidiarrheal and cold drugs. Besides, as the mountain areas feature intense ultraviolet radiation, changing weather and limited accommodation facilities, pack sunscreen, sunglasses, lipstick, rain gear, mosquito repellent, and even a sleeping bag. Moreover, neck pillows and cotton slippers can help reduce your fatigue during long-hour road trips. Since the average altitude of the Pamirs soars to over 4,000 meters (13,123 feet), medicine for altitude sickness and an oxygen tank are necessities. Besides, a power bank is a must for your Tajikistan tours, as power cuts occur frequently in the mountain areas.

Most of the Tajiks are Muslims. To enter mosques, you need to dress properly to cover your shoulders, arms and legs. If you would like to take photos in any scenic spots or with Pamiris in the mountains, please obtain permission first from the local people. If you want to smoke in the cities, please ask your guide whether it is allowed.

Yes, Tajikistan is a safe country where the people are kind and friendly. Just be aware of pickpockets in crowded bazaars and tourist attractions. However, it should be noted that when traveling along the Tajik-Afghan border, you may see Afghan sentries patrolling on the opposite side. Please refrain from taking photos for safety concerns.

The network signals in the Fann Mountains and the Pamirs are poor, especially from Khorog to Murghab, and around major high-altitude passes. For smooth Tajikistan trips, consider buying a SIM card from MegaFon or T-Cell, which works better than the others.

Yes, you can easily find it in Dushanbe and Khujand. However, in other regions, it is hard to get a vegetarian meal. If you are a vegetarian or have a special diet, please inform the tour guide ahead of time. We will try our best to meet your demands, though it may not be completely guaranteed.
