Most of our guides are trained and certified by the University of Central Asia. Apart from the business we are engaged in social development activities in mountain areas, where we help local communities build bridges, restore shrines, put tourist signs and train homestay owners customer service.
August 2018 – My wife and I decide to further expand our knowledge of Central Asia countries with a tour in Uzbekistan coupled with a two weeks trip in Pamir mountains. We usually do few weeks backpacking with some days spent into mountainous regions. The Uzbek part of the trip is easy to manage and arrange, but the part in Tajikistan is less convenient as long as our time is not long. We decide to use an agency and after a short contest using Caravanistan contact we decide for Saidbek because of the fast and complete answer to our first email and the kindness and reliability of the person.
We started the offer request in two but we ended in five as long as friends were interested in our trip and decided little by little to join us
The organisation was almost perfect with that grade of flexibility and capacity to understand customers’ request that it’s usually expected by experienced tour operators. It means good and comfortable hotels in the cities, experienced drivers and, overall, young and educated mountain guides.
The tour proposed fitted our expectations and our willingness to stay at high altitude for many days, furthermore the guide knew perfectly where to pitch the tents or when to rest or when was the best light for taking specific pictures.
The only minus of our tour has been part of the dinners were a bit far from our taste (not easy to cook a tasty meal at 4500m height), but we were eager to adapt and everything had been fine in the end.
From our experience we can only recommend Saidbek and is enthusiasm: his travel agency is a perfect guide for visiting Pamir mountains and Tajikistan in general.
Thanks, Saidbek was fantastic! Only 100% praise for him and the tour organisation.
I did a 3 days trip with Saidbek in April 2018. I contacted him very late but still Saidbek managed to choose a place that was fitting my wishes and planned everything perfectly. The driver was very effetive and friendly, the accomadation was lovely, the mountains outstanding and the price was really reasonable.
Thanks again !
