I chose this 6-day trek with Trek Tajikistan because I was interested in meeting the Yaghnob people... read more
I crossed the Alps and the Dolomites for writing a book about the World War I and I learned how the men have adapted to the height of the mountains, to cold and snow. I love the mountains near my home, however I wanted to discover new landscapes. But to walk surrounded by lonely peaks is not the main aspect of my journeys. In my opinion it is more important to meet the people for knowing the places through their eyes and their words.
I still remember the meeting managed by Shuhrat, our Tajik guide, with a family that in summer lives in a tent far from the village. I thought of the nomad shepherds that lived in the Middle Age along the Silk Road that pastured the sheeps for the wool, the cows for the milk and the meat and used the donkeys for carrying their things. The ability to adapt to this natural environment has extremely amazed me. We ate together some plov and bread cooked in the open air and we learned a lot about the lifestyle, the work, the culture of these amazing people.

Unquestionably one of the highlights of a long trip through central Asia. We spent 3 days trekking with Shuhrat - eternally good humoured, knowledgable and curious in equal measure. The scenery is stunning and the walking just the right level of toughness. The locals that we stayed with went out of their way to make us comfortable. As did our driver Bobo. Really recommend these guys to trek with. And the Fann Mts are stunning... definitely go.

I did 2 trips with Trek Tajikistan. I went to the Fann Mountains and to the Yognob Valley
In general super enthousiast about this trips.
In the fann mountains the nature is amazing, unreal to stand alone at the best views. Its like switseland, but than empty.
In the yognob valley is more a cultural trip. Great to meet the locals.
The guide Shurath was really good.

Wonderful trek in Pamir Mountains arranged by trek Tajikistan
Pamir Mountains are extremely beautiful but the treks are harder and more dangerous then it might seem at first glance. The terrain is spectacular. The place is pretty much empty of tourists and the very few locals one encounters are friendly. Local food ( where available) is very very good. Our guide, Shurat is very knowledgeable And not once he helped us overcome difficult situations.
Dear Oscar!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us.
Was very well noted about the difficulty of the route in the Pamir.
The Pamir is high mountain eria - crossing rivers, rocky paths, long hiking distances, making it all difficult.
It was a pleasure to travel with such experienced people, and we are happy to see you around again!
Sincerely
Trek Tajikistan team!
Our trek in the Fann Mountains was in one word amazing! The beautiful mountain landscape, the super hospitable locals and the nights under the stars made it an unforgettable and unique experience. It was really special to sleep in our tent in those remote areas. During the trek our guide Shuhrat was very kind and took care of us along the way.
Dear Lisa!
