7 days free in Tajikistan
7 days free in Tajikistan
I was planning on traveling from Dushanbe via Khorog and Murghab to Osh but with the border being shut this does not look possible. As such I now have 7 days free in Tajikistan departing Dushanbe on the 18th of June and hopefully ending in Khujand on the 25th to cross via Uzbekistan into Kyrgyzstan. What would a good itinerary be? I will be traveling on public transport and whilst I'm a keen hiker I wont have camping gear so no multiday hikes.

Re: 7 days free in Tajikistan
It is too short to go to the Pamirs.
Concentrate on the Fann mountains.

Re: 7 days free in Tajikistan
Any suggestions on where to go/stay in the Fann? Most the guides I've read are for multi day treks which I wont be doing.willemspie wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 12:05 pmIt is too short to go to the Pamirs.

Re: 7 days free in Tajikistan
You can first go to Iskenderkul Sarytag for 2 nights, then go to Artuch (possibly the mountain hut) for 2 more nights.

Thanks for the suggestions. Is there another place on the way up to Khujand that would be worth stopping at for a night or two?willemspie wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 3:17 pmYou can first go to Iskenderkul Sarytag for 2 nights, then go to Artuch (possibly the mountain hut) for 2 more nights.

Istaravshan with Abdullatif Sultan Madrasa ( Kök Gumbaz ) and some other nice places.
I don't know what you like, but about 4-5 km before the town, there is a water dam on which stands a 25-meter high bust of Lenin.
But you don't need to stay there two nights.

Re: 7 days free in Tajikistan
what is the best way to get to Artuch from Sarytag? The Artuch hotel quoted an enormous price for the transfer even if only using their taxi for the last leg.willemspie wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 3:17 pmYou can first go to Iskenderkul Sarytag for 2 nights, then go to Artuch (possibly the mountain hut) for 2 more nights.

Re: 7 days free in Tajikistan
Your homestay in Sarytag can certainly arrange your transport to Sarvoda. Taxis in Sarvoda will take you to Pendjikent or you can try (fee) hitch hiking. There is some public transport from Pendjikent to Artuch.

How long should the journey from Pendjikent to Artuch take? and how much should I expect to pay?willemspie wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2023 7:14 pmYour homestay in Sarytag can certainly arrange your transport to Sarvoda.
