Top 10 Multi-day Tours in Dushanbe, Tajikistan

June 11, 2021 Christa Meece

Translating to "Monday" in Tajik, Dushanbe was once a tiny mountain village known for its Monday market. Today that village has become a metropolis, but the Barakat covered market remains one of the most vibrant attractions in the city. Dushanbe's wide, tree-lined avenues are home to a number of monuments and museums, including the Unified Museum and the Museum of Antiquities, as well as a beautiful opera theater and myriad cafes and teahouses where visitors can sample Tajik sweets.

We had booked a car with driver for 10 days from Osh to Bishkek (November 2019). When arranging our itinerary, Talant was very responsive to our emails, allowing for us to set up our trip with ease. Kuba was our driver and his friend, Muha, was there to help should we have any issues with snow covered roads in the Pamir Highway. We had the most remarkable tour with Kuba, who is not only an excellent driver but also speaks good English and has thorough knowledge of the region. During the trip, I unfortunately fell terribly ill, but Kuba went out of his way to drive me through the night (10 hours!) to the nearest hospital and acted as my translator/guide while I was being medically treated. After I recovered, he even took us back to where we had abruptly left the trip without any extra charge for himself. At every instance, we felt that Kuba and Muha truly cared about us and did their best to ensure that we had a memorable time. The trip itself, which not only included driving along the main Pamir Highway but also off-roading in eastern Tajikistan, was met with breath-taking views of the Pamir Mountains, immaculate lakes and beautiful pastures. Also, all homestays arranged for us were comfortable and the hosts were very welcoming. I would highly recommend using Visit Alay tours and having Kuba as their driver to anyone wanting an adventure of a lifetime – they will definitely deliver!

Date of tour: September 2019. Booking process: Booking the tour was very easy. Alovaddin answered all my questions quickly, suggested an itinerary and adjusted it to suit our start/end points and flight times. Excellent service. Arrival and departure: Our guide( Zikriyo), and our driver (Sher) met us at the Uzbekistan border as planned. Easy to organise. At the end of the trip they took us to the airport at 4am. We were more than happy to get a taxi, but they insisted on driving us. Sums up their attitude throughout. Thanks Zikriyo and Sher. Tour: Superb tour. Our guide and driver were excellent. Our guide spoke good English, was very knowledgable and made the trip fun. We enjoyed talking to him about Tajikistan, its history, his life and family. Our trip included Penjikent, Shing Valley (7 lakes), Noffin, Marghib, Pskan (Yagnob valley), Saratog (Iskanderkul) and Dushanbe. A particular highlight was the short walk and overnight homestay in Pskan. The homestays and guesthouses were all comfortable, the food was good and plentiful. The length of travelling on each day was well planned. We had plenty of time to explore on the way and at the evening destination. It wasn't rushed so we could get the most of our trip, whether it was a bit of hiking, meeting the locals, or just relaxing as the sun set. Overall we had a wonderful trip, that showed off some of the best countryside that Tajikistan has to offer. Highly recommended. Thanks Alovaddin, Zikriyo and Sher!

The Pamir Highway is one of the world’s greatest road trips. The Pamir Highway. It’s a name that vibrates strongly in the belly of anyone with a taste for adventure. The high desert of the Pamir invites expletives and superlatives. ... It crosses the whole Pamir region of Tajikistan, running from Dushanbe to Khorog to Osh. From this road, you can look at China, peek into Pakistan and wave to villagers in Afghanistan.

Inclusions: Private transportation

Exclusions: Airticket

The most popular of all the jeep routes in Tajikistan is the Pamir Highway M41, equally be loved of cyclists (at least on the downhill stretches). Highlights of the road, which demands ten days of your time to see it in full, include the cosmopolitan town of Khorog with its suspension bridges, Afghan market, botanical garden and parks; ruby mines and naturally hot spring baths; groves of fruit trees amidst a patchwork of irrigated fields; and the stark and isolated, yet unforgettably beautiful, Murghab Plateau, where only nomads roam. The Pamir Highway grants visitors access to the Tajkistan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to the wildlife and ancient archaeological remains of the Wakhan Corridor, and ultimately to neighbouring Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan. In a single day you can wind your way through high-altitude deserts, empty plains, and lush green meadows, frequently scattered with wildflowers.

Many people know more about the surface of the moon more than about Tajikistan, a small jewel of a country perched between Afghanistan and China. Foreigners rarely visited it, except with the official invitation and under strict supervision. Even after the fall of the USSR in 1991, few outsiders visited beyond aid workers and journalists because of the civil war that made parts of the country insecure into the late 90s. Now Tajikistan is an independent country where peace has found it place among the nation. There are many chances for travelers to visit and discover the country that, even now, is not known to millions of people. This tour is a guaranteed departure, so even if you are the only one booked onto this tour, you will still be guaranteed to depart!

Untouched, unspoiled and unrivaled. Tajikistan is an oddly shaped, mountainous, landlocked country squished between Afghanistan to the south, China to the east, Kyrgyzstan to the north and Uzbekistan to the west. A country unknown to most the outside world that I chose to visit exactly for that reason. Those that make it to this little known corner of the world will be greatly rewarded. Kyrgyzstan is a country that captured our imagination from the very first time we entered its border from Kazakhstan. It has beautiful unspoiled mountains, crystal-clear mountain lakes, a fascinating culture, and interesting traditions.

My tour of Bukhara was the highlight of my trip to Uzbekistan. My guide, Lola, was arguably the best tour guide I’ve had the pleasure to sightsee with. She had an exceptional knowledge of the history and landmarks and her enthusiasm of the subject matter was infectious. She tailored the tour to my interest and was extremely patient as I nerded out taking photographs. I so enjoyed my day with her and hope to get her as a guide again on my next trip to Uzbekistan. The tour was effortless with hotel pick up and drop off. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Well worth it!!
