Essential questions

Ask on WhatsApp
Is it safe to travel to Tajikistan?

Tajikistan is generally considered a safe and very hospitable destination for travellers. The main risks are natural: mountain roads, altitude and weather. That is why we use experienced local drivers and plan routes around current road conditions. Always check your own government’s travel advice before booking.

Can I use credit cards in Tajikistan?

In Dushanbe, Visa and Mastercard are accepted at larger hotels and some shops. Outside the capital — and especially in the Pamirs — cash is essential, so withdraw Tajik somoni (TJS) in Dushanbe before you leave.

How do you handle altitude on the Pamir Highway?

The Pamir Highway climbs above 4,600 m. Our itineraries follow the “climb high, sleep low” principle, with an acclimatisation stop in Khorog (about 2,100 m) before going higher. Tell us about any health conditions when you enquire.

How do I get a quote?

Send us your dates, group size and interests via WhatsApp or the trip form. We reply with an itemised itinerary and price. There is no obligation and you pay nothing until you confirm.
