I was in a tour group of 15 with a company from Uzbekistan called Advantour which covered all 5 Stans. To get to the lakes we transferred from a big bus to two mini vans and I, sitting in the front was privy to a very scary bumpy ride. The winding roads were basically the width of one car and if someone else was heading the other way, they had to look for a nook in the mountain to pull over as only one vehicle could fit. We drove on to Lake No. 6 and had to hike for a couple of hours to No. 7. It was definitely worth it. The rugged beauty of the rocky mountains, the blue and green water of the lakes, was breathtaking. We stopped at a guesthouse by Lake No. 4 for an overnight stay. Next morning as we zig-zagged down, our vans pulled over periodically when possible and allowed some of us to hike on the road for a bit, take photos and enjoy the peaceful scenery. With no breeze to send ripples, the lakes reflected perfectly the blue skies, the mountains, houses perched on top and it was gorgeous. It took about 2 1/2 hours of creeping up the mountain road in the vehicles equipped with 4-wheel drive. Not for the faint of heart. But for those who like to go off the beaten path and experience the lesser traveled parts of the world, this would be a lovely place to do so.

Such a pretty area, pretty crowded on a weekend but the weather was perfect in January. Tajikistan has the most beautiful mountain that you can found. You can spend an entire day just enjoy.

The Wakhan Corridor or Valley stretches from Khorog to past Langar, along the Panj (or Amu Darya) river which forms the border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan. The river itself is green/turquoise in color due to the minerals it carries, and the landscape along this valley is spectacular in both countries. We were on the Tajik side, and along the alley, you get hot springs (Bibi-Fatima, Garam Chasma), ancient fortresses (Yamchun), ancient Buddhist Stupkas (at Vrang), Museum at Yamg and great farming etc etc. This is definitely a must do

7. Pamir Highway
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 131 reviews
The Pamir Mountain range is part of the Western Himalaya and features several peaks over 7000m. The terrain is diverse from towering peaks to high altitude desert plains and climate conditions can vary from +35C to -40C depending upon the time of year. The Pamir Highway follows paths forged long ago by the ancient Silk routes, when that precious commodity travelled from China to European and Arabian markets and traded goods returned in its stead. Legacies of those forgotten times can still be seen with cliff top fortresses and ancient caravanserais. The highway winds over 2000km from Samarkand in Uzbekistan through Dushanbe (capital of Tajikistan) and the Pamir mountains to Osh in Kyrgyzstan and then on to Bishkek (capital of Kyrgyzstan) through the Tien Shan mountain range. The peoples of Central Asia hold hospitality as a value of great importance and travellers are warmly welcomed whether the visit is planned or otherwise!

Mountains, rivers, forests. I travelled on the border between Tadjikistan and Afghanistan and could see the Afghan countryside that you can't see otherwise. There is the river Panj (Amu Darya), a narrow, but turbulent river, between the countries. You can see from the road snowy peaks of Pamir and Hindu Kush too. Unfortunately, Isis killed four travellers in summer 2018 when I was there.

Rudaki Park, in the heart of Dushanbe is about 20 acres in size, formally laid out with paved paths, formal flower beds, fountains, statues and surrounded by government buildings. The park is a colorful expression of Tajikistan national pride. It is named after Muhammad al Rudaki (858-941), one of the first poets to write in modern Persian. He was born in what is now Panjakent, Tajikistan, and was the court poet to Samanid ruler Nasr II in the early 10th century. On the east side of the park, radial walkways converge on a massive statue of Rudaki, under a mosaic arch. The north center of the park has a tall flagstaff with an enormous Tajikistan flag. The flagpole fronts a small lake with paddle boats for rent. The park is meticulously laid out and cared for, with formal flower beds, tree-lined walkways, benches, and fountains. The Presidential Palace is on the west side, the National Museum of Tajikistan on the north, and the National Library to the South. Just south of the park is a statue to Ismoili Somoni under a modernistic gold arch. During the summer, the park can be hot, so a visit in early morning or late afternoon can be cooler. The fountains are lit at night, making it a visual delight. Its extensive size and paved paths make it a good place for walking, jogging, or bike riding. Kiosks sell ice cream and cold drinks, and there are occasional public toilets. Rudaki park is easy to get to (Trams run along Rudaki Avenue to the east), and is open 24 hours each day. There is no entrance charge.

This traditional bazaar sells products of all manner of things and is interesting to walk through. Do not miss the opportunity to walk around the outside of the first floor for a great overview of the whole bazaar.
