Your guided tour of the city will show you Tajikistan’s history and culture, visiting the Antiquities’ Museum with the 40-foot Buddha statue, the Musical Instruments Museum, the Botanical Gardens, which is among the world's highest botanical gardens, and the Somoni Place. Wander in the oriental market, a treasure trove of Tajik crafts and flavours, with lunch and dinner at local restaurants, where you can sample a variety of local food and authentic Tajik cuisine.

After breakfast, continue your trek upward to the high-altitude Dugdon Pass at 12,500 feet. The views are stunning, with distant glaciers and jagged peaks in every direction. Crossing these high passes is both a challenge and a highlight of the region, especially as they are often snow-covered and inaccessible in winter, but become passable and reveal their full beauty during the summer months when the snow melts.

After a challenging trek, you may have the opportunity to relax in natural hot springs, enjoying a restorative soak in these unique thermal waters. Our trips are suitable for families.
ACCOMMODATIONS: Our tours feature the finest accommodations in each destination, from charming boutique hotels to cosy lodges, ensuring a comfortable stay with authentic cuisine.

For those seeking a more tailored journey, we also offer personalized trip options, allowing you to customize your itinerary with a mix of homestays, camping, and cultural activities.
TRANSPORTATION: All transportation for your tour is meticulously planned according to the itinerary. In remote regions, transport can be limited and expensive, which may present logistical challenges for trekking and hiking. Luggage is often transported by donkeys or other means to support travel in these areas. Please note that when entering a national park, such as Tajik National Park in the Tajik Pamir, permits and visitor fees are required. Access to these protected areas can be vague or complicated due to the lack of clear boundaries and formal facilities, and recent years have seen an increase in visitor fees. For personal explorations beyond the scheduled activities, your Expedition Leader is ready to suggest the best transportation choices, ensuring your travel within the tour is seamless and tailored to your interests.
Prices are per person, based on double or single occupancy (unless otherwise noted) and do not include international airfare to/from your destination. All prices and fares are quoted in US dollars and subject to change. See the terms and conditions for this trip for more information.
