that you need at Travel Tajikistan! Travel Tajikistan is a comprehensive
guide to travel and tourism in Tajikistan, including city and
regional guides, flight schedules, entry requirements, and other
essential travel information.
Tajikistan is a newly-independent republic on the southern tip
of what used to be Soviet Central Asia. Beautiful and remote,
Tajikistan was host to substantial numbers of visitors, largely
from the USSR and Eastern European countries. Tourists were
attracted by opportunities for alpine mountaineering, rock climbing,
walking, fishing, or simply relaxing among dramatic mountains
and lakes.
A few western mountaineers and travellers in search of unconventional
destinations also found their way to Tajikistan. Most famous
of all were the three giants of the Pamirs: Peak Kommunisma,
Peak Lenina and Peak Korzhenevskaya in the Eastern region of
Badakhshan. For alpine climbing, high level walking tours and
lakeland scenery the Fann mountains in the North West of the
country, just across the border from Samarkand, were especially
popular.
When the 1992-97 civil war started, almost all tourism was terminated
overnight. However, the war is now over, the country is slowly
getting back on its feet, and today Tajikistan has much to offer
to the mountaineer, the hiker and the independent traveller
in search of remote locations and unusual cultural experiences. |
