TREK THE TAJIK MOUNTAINS

Highly recommended for anyone planning treks in Tajikistan. We (a group of 3) did a 8 day hike in the Fann Mountains. Our guide Shuhrat was amazing and helped us customize the itinerary to suit our requirements and even helped to drop us off in Samarkand on the last day along with our suitcases which they kept. Prior to the trip, Shuhrat was responsive and addressed our many queries, even providing us with advice on where to stay, visa requirements etc. On the trek, everything was well planned out, including the logistics, donkey / porter, camp equipment, food and even water filters were provided for drinking water. Overall would highly recommend Trek Tajikistan and Shuhrat!

We did a one-week trek in the Fann Mountains with Trek Tajikistan. It was excellent!!!! Communication beforehand with Shuhrat was fantastic - he was extremely responsive and gave great advice. The trek itself was wonderful. We were very well looked after by our guide, cook and donkey handler. (And thank you to the donkeys for carrying all our gear!) Food and camping equipment were top notch. We had 3 nights camping and 3 in guesthouses, which was a good mix. The scenery was amazing. The trek was quite challenging for us (in our sixties) but totally doable. Shuhrat met us at the end in Dushanbe and again proved to be super helpful sorting out accommodation for us when there was a problem with the hotel we had originally booked. I thoroughly recommend Trek Tajikistan for excellent service before, during and after our trek. Thank you, Shuhrat!

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.

I’ve spent fantastic days on the Fann Mountains. Our great guide Shuhrat led us through very nice hiking and let us understanding the way of life and culture of the people living in those villages.

Outstanding in every way. Shuhrat was a terrific guide. Scenery superb. Just a great experience.

Unforgettable Pamir Lakes trek with Shuhrat! Writing this, I have a big happy smile on my face: what a great adventure, made easy thanks to Trektajikistan’s well documented website, excellent communication before the trip and good organisation, as well as the kindness of all people met on the way. There are two distinct parts to this trip: the drive to and from the Pamir mountain range, partly along the Pamir highway, with nights in homestays, which offers a great introduction to the people of Southern Tajikistan, and the trek itself, up to 4600 m, camping in very remote valleys, with no connectivity for several days. No need to be a mountaineer, but I would still recommend this mostly for experienced and fairly fit hikers. Thanks to Shuhrat, acclimatization to the altitude and any difficulties in terrain (Swiss grading T3 plus some river crossings :) ) were well managed, and we were also well nourished. I particularly loved the stunning campsites, where our camping equipment was carried by donkeys each day, as well as Shuhrat’s accounts of life in Tajikistan and the Pamirs. My heartfelt thanks and best wishes to him and his team!

Shuhrat was a fantastic guide on what was a tough treck to the Lakes in the Pamirs. Wonderful scenery and great camp sites. Travel and home stays all efficiently arranged (the journey down to the Pamirs is an epic journey in itself) and when opportunities arose tea and yoghurt shared in remote herder's huts. Thoroughly recommend Treck Tajikistan for their efficiency and care. David
