Self Guided Treks

Go solo without a guide

Self-guided treks are ideal for experienced trekkers who want to explore the stunning mountains of Tajikistan at their own pace. With our self-guided options, you have the freedom to navigate the trails independently, while we organize the car transport and homestay bookings. We provide comprehensive route descriptions and all the essential information to ensure your trek is as safe and clear as possible.

Self-guided treks are intended for hikers with solid trekking experience and the ability to navigate challenging and remote terrain. We only recommend self-guided treks for seasoned adventurers who are comfortable in the wilderness and have a good sense of direction.

For a flexible and independent adventure in Tajikistan's rugged landscapes, a self-guided trek might be the perfect choice. However, if you prefer going with an experienced local guide, you can check our complete overview of guided treks . You can always contact us directly for more details and to discuss your trekking experience and readiness.
