TREK THE TAJIK MOUNTAINS

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.

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!

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!

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.

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! ))

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.

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
