Outward-bound adventurers will be delighted by this comprehensive tour of the deservedly popular Fann Mountains. Swap the city sights of the Tajik capital Dushanbe for stunning natural beauty. Daily treks and hikes take explorers through winding mountain passes, across green meadows with happily grazing sheep and up to some of the highest peaks in the range. Set up camp each night in one idyllic location after another, in fir tree forests and beside the glittering waters of mountain lakes. After nearly two weeks in the wild, ease your way back into civilization with a night in a mountain village, lodging with a local family. Finally, experience Khujand, the Fann mountains’ gateway city and cross the border into Uzbekistan for a night in historic Tashkent.

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

  • Camp Under the Stars: There's no need to bring a telescope, as the darkness of the Fanns provides a clear view of the glittering Milky Way.
  • Local Encounters: In Tajikistan's most remote destinations, travelers will be immersed in a traditional and authentic way of life, breaking bread with nomadic shepherds and exploring mountain villages.
  • Chimtarga Peak: Take on the challenge of Chimtarga Peak with a trek up to the highest summit in the Fann Mountains.
