Welcome to Tajikistan – one of the least-touristed parts of the world. This thrilling journey is certainly not for the faint of heart, with average daily treks of around five to six hours, and nights spent camping high up in the mountains of Tajikistan. Starting in the capital of Dushanbe, you’ll begin your intrepid 16-day trip through the Fann mountains and many lofty passes, stopping along the way at the Karakul river, Sarikhodang gorge, Lake Koulikalon, among others. Don’t forget your camera – this is a journey that simply must be captured through a lens, if not just committed to memory. 

This itinerary is an example. It’s designed to inspire you and provide you with thoughtfully curated ideas. You can choose to do this exact itinerary or completely personalize it. All trips are 100% bespoke.

Highlights

• Iskanderkul Lake: Tajikistan's Fann Mountains are filled with natural beauty, but the turquoise waters of Iskanderkul may just be the jewel in the crown.

• Sleep Under the Stars: Camp under star-blanketed skies, nestled into the foothills of Tajikistan’s majestic mountains.

• Al Fresco Dining: The great outdoors is your dining room as travelers picnic with views of glaciers, waterfalls, and forest-covered peaks, then warm up with drinks by the campfire.
