Tajikistan How to get from Dushanbe to Samarkand ?
Posted: Tue December 18, 2007 09:19 AM UTC
What is the best way to get from Dushanbe to Sammarkand ?
Several postings seem to indicate that the drive from Dushanbe to Penjikent is horrible and advise against this road. Is this true ?
Are the alternatives, e.g. flying to Khujunad and taking a train/bus from there or taking the train via Termez, any better ?

Thank you,

George

Dear fellowtravellers,

Did some one get a visa and GBAO permit on arrival at Dushanbe airport?
I did look at some Tajik embassy webpages and it still not clear for me.

Thanks for answering me.

Tajikistan How much time for the Pamir Highway?
Posted: Mon September 17, 2007 08:14 PM UTC
Dear fellow travellers,

I am thinking about booking a flight to Dushanbe (Tajikistan) and returning from Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) in July next year.
How much time would be oke for travelling from one to another? I have the intention to go by public tranpsort or to hitch hike.
(Weather, road conditions, bureaucracy, lack of traffic)

Hope to hear from you!

Tajikistan Travel Companion
Posted: Sat March 24, 2007 05:38 AM UTC
Hey guys,

I'll be travelling Central Asia in June - July this year (2007), so I was wondering if anyone will be out there around that time and maybe would like to travel together. Here's a brief itinerary:

Start off in Pakistan - up the Karakoram Highway crossing into Kashgar (China) - then into Kyrgyztan - down through the Pamir Mountains and the Hindu Kush crossing into Tajikistan and finally ending up at Dushanbe. Following that, I have no plans as yet but I hope to cross into Afghanistan into Kabul if security conditions permit, otherwise head east or maybe head back to Pakistan.

Hope to hear from all you thrill seekers !!!

Tajikistan Pamir Highway
Posted: Mon February 12, 2007 08:17 PM UTC
Hello,

Has anyone done the trip from Osh/Sary-Tash to Khorog recently ? How long does it take and how much does it cost ?
Information on the internet varies from tremendously from 2 day to more than a week (minimum !) and from $ 250 to over $ 1000 for a jeep/taxi. Can anyone recommend a travel agency that can organize transport at a reasonable price ?

Thank you for any help !

Tajikistan Russian Hiker missed in Wahkan corridor ! Do you know anything that could help ?
Posted: Fri November 17, 2006 06:51 AM UTC
Hello all,
In “my” German Trekkingforum, I have read that a Russian trekker, Sergej, is missing while hiking in the south of Tajikistan / Pamirs.

Please find below the English description, which already has been posted in some hiking forums. Although I am aware that VT is not necessarily a hiking community, I don’t want to miss any possibility.

If anyone knows anything, please don’t post here, but in the German Trekkingforum, which has the English settings as well. It is here, where a friend of Sergej is reading and posting as well. You can answer there also without registration (we have checked this).
This is the post:
http://www.trekkingforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7323

Here is the flyer with description also in Farsi:
http://shiacenter.ru/fls/missing.png

Here is a map, made with GoogleEarth, where his friend has drawn Sergej’s rough route:

Thanks already in advance.
Ingrid

PS:
I will post the description as answer to this post.

Tajikistan newbie visa question
Posted: Fri July 21, 2006 04:21 AM UTC
On their website, the Tajik embassy seems to indicate that it is necessary to have a letter of invitation to obtain a visa. However, other sources have indicated to me that this is not necessary in Tajikistan. I am a US citizen; do I need a letter to obtain a tourist visa?

Thanks!

Tajikistan Tashkorgan to Murghob?
Posted: Mon March 6, 2006 11:43 PM UTC
Does anyone know if there is a road from Tashkorgan (Xinjiang) to Murghob (in Tajikistan) through the Qolma Pass? I read in a guide book that one was being built, but is it open yet and, if so, is it OK for foreigners to cross the border here?

Also if the road is open, has anyone been along it? Is it surfaced or graded?

Secondly, is it possible to travel on the road from Kalaqigu (south of Tashkorgan) towards the Wakan Corridor through Tuokemanban (and on into the Wakan Corridor itself?) Are there border crossings from the Afghan to the Tajikistan side of the Wakan Corridor at the upper end of the valley?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Hi,

I've read that Badakhshan is a region from where Lapislazuli is extrated. Is there any mining site possible to be visited? Are there ancient mining places from the times of the Silk Road?

If anybody knows it ....
