Tajikistan holidays
Get lost within an ancient world of spice stalls and yak carts where towering mountains melt into blue streams and the echo of hand carved instruments plays a constant background beat to accompany Tajikistan holidays. From Dushanbe to Gissar and then onwards to the lake of Iskander Kul and UNESCO site of Penjikent, this is where things get interesting so hold onto your unibrow as we’re going in.

Memorable parts?
Walking in the Kyrgyz mountains.
Tips?
Be prepared to be flexible, pack light.
Local benefits?
Interaction with local people was good. Difficult to evaluate environmental impact. Use of personal water bottles is a good idea, but drinking water is mainly
supplied in single use plastic bottles. Conservation is probably supported only by the fact that as tourists you bring much needed dollars into the country.
Overall rating?
Very good, a great way ... (more)Ges Payne

Traveling along the Pamir Highway and seeing fantastic scenery

High altitude is a given. It's better to rise gradually, so the direction Dushanbe to Bishkek might be easier.
Local benefits?
Absolutely. We visited local restaurants and stayed with local people.
Overall rating?
