Dushanbe to Panjakent bus?

[Lukeyboi]

With the Asian Express timetable difficult to find online, does anyone have any experience getting bus from Dushanbe to Penjakent? Or what times the buses go?

I took this bus November 2022. Dont remember exactly time, it's early morning. We came to the platform about 1-2 hours before departure of bus, put our names on the waiting list, then when bus station counter opened they issued tickets according to this list, only cash payment. No advance booking. Journey was quite fast and comfortable.

There is a timetable on their Instagram page published on 15.03. It is only in Cyrillic. According to it there is a bus leaving from Dushanbe to Panjakent at 07:30 and it costs 70 somoni.



As I am also interested in this bus I will try to mail them and see if they will confirm it.

They confirmed today, there is indeed bus from Dushanbe to Panjakent at 07:30.

Taking bus Khujand to Dushanbe right now. Got on the bus at 7-15, had an advance booking, but there were a few vacant seats, till 7-40 all seats filled up. Bus has 20+ seats, air conditioned. Booked via the number on the attached card

Well, I don't know if this is of any real value for tourists but Asian Express is starting new daily bus from Dushanbe to Obi Garm as of 01.08. Ticket price is 25 somoni.

I used this bus few weeks ago. It is a small one (20 people). Not much space for large backpacks or anything like that. Costs 70 somoni.
