Why a trip to Tajikistan?

A territory for 90% mountainous and peaks that exceed 7000 meters, including the highest of the entire Central Asia. Easy to guess that Tajikistan is a country for mountain lovers, for those who love the blue skies crossed by eagles and arid territories. Tajikistan is not an easy country but it is a country that offers a lot to those who appreciate it. From here passed the ancient Silk Road, from here passed Alexander the Great, Tajikistan in the course of its past was a real crossroads of peoples and cultures, hard to believe today while admiring the chains of Tian Shan and Pamir.

Pamir, the country’s autonomous eastern region, is one of the great Tajik attractions. Breathtaking views and difficulties around the corner, bordering China and Afghanistan the Pamir region is the most extreme destination of the country, which in its western part sees a lower altitude and a more populated border with Uzbekistan. Tajikistan is the highest country in Central Asia and is an anomaly in the region as the ethnicity and language are of Iranian descent. According to some studies, Tajiks are the oldest inhabitants of Central Asia.
