Hi

I believe as a New Zealander I qualify to get a visa at Dushanbe airport on arrival - however I am arriving from Istanbul and the flight gets in at 03.45 a.m. can anyone tell me if the visa office will be operating at that time ???

cheers

Hello,

I will depart Bishkek on June 3rd and I need to be in Tashkent on June 5th or 6th.
In the meantime, I would really like to cross into Tajikistan for 1-2 days.
As far as I can tell, I have two options. Which one seems preferable?

  1. Fly to Tashkent on June 3rd, take an overnight trip to Khujand.
    (This seems to be an easy option, but I'm not sure that Khujand is an interesting tourist destination...)

  2. Fly to Dushanbe on June 3rd, spend 2 nights. Fly to Khujand for taxi…

Hi, everyone:
I have read on this forum the Pamir Highway was closed last summer due to some fighting. Has anyone got any report about it being re-opened again? I can see some people got their GBAO permit recently but don't have further info about actually travelling in the region (I guess is too early, yet).
Thank you,

Over the winter of 2011/12 mobile phone masts were installed in many of the villages in the Eastern Pamir and over this last winter the masts have finally come into operation.

Currently only the users of the Megafon mobile network can benefit from this service but this is clearly a great step forward and really improves communications for tourists to the region.

Hi

I am looking to travel to the Pamirs for 7-10 days in March/April. It would be great if anyone could recommend a local guide/tour company probably based in Dashanbe

last year, my friend from Spain took a trip to Tajikistan and to Pamirs, and he really liked it, and recommended me also to go there.
i am in process of preparation, and planning to go there by end of June or beginning of July. I will use the same guy who provided the service to my friend last year, and it will cost me around 700-750 per person.
if anyone is planning to go to Tajikistan, could you get in touch with me at my email rus.warren@yahoo.com ?
i want to spend around 2 weeks in Tajikistan…

Hola!

I'm looking for the cheapest way to get from Dushanbe to Khorog. I've heard there could be flights, but a local bus would perhaps be the best option. Does anybody know if local buses run between these two towns and, if so, how much it costs and how long it takes?

Much obliged!

Hi,

I am just planing a trip around Tajikistan in Juli. Would like to go from Dushanbe down Wakhan Corridor and from there up to Kara Kul Lake.
Could anyone tell me whether 20 days would be enough for that tour?
Can someone recommend a Tajik travelagency for renting a car ?
Thanks
Annette
