TREK THE TAJIK MOUNTAINS

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

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 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!

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!

My wife and I joined a five-day trek in late August. We had a few questions beforehand, and Shuhrat (our guide) always replied honestly and efficiently. The scenery along the trek was absolutely beautiful, and everything was very well organised. Shuhrat was especially attentive to me, as I was usually the slowest member of the group. Considering the logistical difficulties of the trek, the food was also surprisingly delicious. Perhaps the only negative surprise was that several groups follow the same route, so at times you are not completely alone when camping. On the other hand, we really enjoyed the opportunity to take a short swim in some wonderful lakes. A very enjoyable and highly recommended trek!

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

My husband and I went to Tajikistan for our honeymoon and went hiking with Trek Tajikistan. Shuhrat our guide was absolutely wonderful! He planned a great trip and was flexible making changes as we went along (due to my husband getting food poisoning - don't worry, he caught it on the previous stop!). The homestays we stayed at were lovely and very kind. The food was delicious traditional Tajik mountain food. Overall the region is stunning - even the car rides had amazing views! We cannot recommend Trek Tajikistan enough!

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.
