Tajikistan

 Tajikistan is famous for the riotous sense of color Tajik people have. They love vivid colors, as many as possible. The people are very hospitable and make friends easily. In many small villages hidden in the mountains they still speak ancient Sogdian dialect, the language that Alexander the Great heard when he came to these places. They say that he had been camping on the shores of Iskanderkul lake, and hence it was named after him.

Trek in The Fann Mountains

Fann mountains are considered to be one of the most beautiful in Central Asia. They are known for their picturesque mountainous scenery as well as for the great number of different nice and clear lakes scattered all over. Geographically the Fann Mountains are part of those great ramparts of rock which run along the southern edge of the Central Asian republics and Siberia, virtually from the Caspian to the Pacific. More specifically they are part of the Pamir-Alai and are located in the Republic of Tajikistan between the Zeravshan and Gissar ranges.

All Central Asia

Central Asia is as geographically diverse as it is historically rich. It is a vast arena of desert, steppe and mountain ranges. For more than 2000 years Central Asia was involved in ancient east-west trade and a significant part of Silk Road was going through its territory. During this 3-week trip we will visit Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan. All of them got their borders fixed in the 1920s as the republics of the USSR and became sovereign states after the collapse of Soviet Union.
