TREK THE TAJIK MOUNTAINS

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.

I chose this 6-day trek with Trek Tajikistan because I was interested in meeting the Yaghnob people (considered to be descendants of the Sogdian-speaking peoples who once inhabited most of Central Asia beyond the Amu Darya River). We stayed 2 nights in villages along the Yaghnob Valley before heading to Tagobikul Valley and then crossing into Ziddi Valley. The highlight of the trip for me was crossing the Leila Pass at 3,900 m and camping by Lailakul lakes at 3,400 m. If you are interesed in avoiding the more touristy areas and experiencing how people in remote mountainous villages live, then this is the one for you!

We had a very good, personalized 10-day hike in the Fann Mountains with 'Trek Tajikistan'. It was a really great tour through the Fann Mountains with a very pleasant mix of homestays and camping. Very well organized with a flexible guide, Shuhrat, who went beyond the call of duty to give us real insights into his country and culture. Flexible not only in adapting the trip to our wishes, but also when one of the participants had problems with his health, to find a good solution for each of the participants. Well done Shuhrat! The homestays were better than expected and the campsites good. Our luggage was transported by donkeys. Big compliment to the donkey driver who also set up the tents. So very satisfied and worth repeating! ))

Five of us - mid to late sixties have just completed the Iskanderkul to Alauddin Lake hike. Challenging but rewarding with big climbs on four of the nine days. And a big thanks to Trek Tajikistan, Shuhrat and guide Bobo. We made it!

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.

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!

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

Out of this world experience, Sherhat was the perfect guide before, during and afterwards. Accommodating and well organised, can’t recommend the team at Trek Tajikistan enough. The trek to the Fann mountains has made us want to come back, next time the Pamir mountains
