Locals call Tajikistan 'Bam-i-Dunya', the Roof of the World, and travelling the Pamir Highway you can understand why. With first-hand descriptions of everything from Sogdian ruins to playing the traditional sport of buz kashi, trekking on the Murghab Plateau and eating shashlik in garden tea houses, the authors bring the country alive.
This latest edition covers all the most recent developments, notably the significant increase in hotels, restaurants, guesthouses and homestays, along with improvements to travel and transport, all following the government's investment in tourism. New attractions are also featured, including the new cable car in Khujand over the Sirdarya river and new trekking destinations, festivals and exhibitions. There are also details of which sites require additional permits and permissions and how much they cost, and where border crossings have been closed or have become more accessible.
Mountains, crystal clear lakes (including Lake Sarez), wildlife and epic trekking routes are all here, as well as ancient Buddhist sites, Silk Road trading posts, medieval shrines, and planned Soviet cities. The modern population continues to draw upon its diverse heritage from Persia, China, Afghanistan, and Russia, creating a complex and intriguing culture.
Bradt's Tajikistan covers every corner of the country, from the Wakhan Corridor to the Fann Mountains and Garm Chashma springs, Dushanbe to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Sarazm and Tajik National Park, making this comprehensive guide an ideal companion for a perfect trip whether travelling independently or on an organised tour.
Claire Blackmore has worked in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan as an influenza expert both independently and with global health organisations. She first visited Tajikistan after a long European winter and fell in love with the warmth and colours of the capital, Dushanbe. Since then she has been to Tajikistan five times, each time exploring a new part of the country and attempting (mostly in vain) to improve her language skills. She wants others to find out more about this fascinating and welcoming country in order to share the wild untouched beauty and rugged mountain landscapes.
Having graduated from Tajik State National University with a Bachelors degree in International Economic Relations,
Behruz Boev
has worked in tourism for four years, both as a tour guide and as a manager in a number of tour agencies. He has volunteered and worked in many different international organisations but gains the most enjoyment from exploring his country and sharing it with others. He loves his job, the nature, people, local traditions, customs and music, and is passionate about introducing his country to the rest of the world. He sees organising tours as not just his profession but as an art, creating a deeper contact and understanding between tourists and his country, and taking a little of the Tajik hospitality home in their luggage."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
