Re: Trekking from Langar to Ishkashim, possible?
Myself and a friend did a combo of public transport and hikes in that area, up to Langar, so I don't see why not. We did hikes up in the hills (rocky dusty smashed cliffs, to be more accurate) around Zong, and the inter-village trail seemed it would go perhaps even to Langar, following a water chann...

Re: Uzbek sum exchange rates
On the 24th (August) I was being told 7800 for US$.
Next day it dropped to 7600.
I changed a load at that rate.
I keep hearing it has been dropping since?

Re: Imigration card scam...
Coming back as promised to say that I crossed into Uzbekistan at Oybek after, and yes it wasn't even mentioned when leaving Tajikistan. Who do I contact to get that past info removed (or amended, to make it not sound like an essential thing to get) on the page I read it on? Otherwise it will only al...

Re: Samarkand Registan Guards Scam
Yes this festival is a pain for visitors. I arrived in town on a mid afternoon and took my time resting on the understanding the site closes around 8pm. Around 16:30 I headed out to see very little activity going on there but a wall of guards at every entrance. I was told it was from 11-4pm only. In...

Re: Imigration card scam...
I seek updates on this. I (nor anybody in the group of 6 or so travellers who hired our jeep to Murhab from Osh) didn't receive any immigration card at Kyzl-Art border and will be crossing into Uzbekistan via Oykbek in a day or two, to now read about this. I only have my border entry stamps and entr...

Re: Trangia burner fuels in Dushanbe?
I can't speak for Dushanbe but managed to get 100ml of 95% "Spirit" (basically, Ethyl-alcohol) in a pharmacy in far flung Murgab, easily enough. 6 Som, to use in my Caldera Cone so Pharmacies are probably your best bet. It's 95% but burns less hot than others I've used with that percentage so there ...
