Tajikistan:
Tajikistan is a mountainous, landlocked country in Central Asia with an area of 143,100 km2 (55,300 sq mi) and an estimated population of 8.7 million people as of 2016. It is bordered by Afghanistan to the south, Uzbekistan to the west, Kyrgyzstan to the north, and China to the east. The traditional homelands of the Tajik people include present-day Tajikistan as well as parts of Afghanistan and Uzbekistan.
Geography
Tajikistan is landlocked, and is the smallest nation in Central Asia by area. It lies mostly between latitudes 36° and 41° N, and longitudes 67° and 75° E. It is covered by mountains of the Pamir range, and more than fifty percent of the country is over 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) above sea level. The only major areas of lower land are in the north (part of the Fergana Valley), and in the southern Kofarnihon and Vakhsh river valleys, which form the Amu Darya. Dushanbe is located on the southern slopes above the Kofarnihon valley. The Amu Darya and Panj rivers mark the border with Afghanistan, and the glaciers in Tajikistan's mountains are the major source of runoff for the Aral Sea. There are over 900 rivers in Tajikistan longer than 10 kilometres. Demographics
Tajikistan has a population of 8,734,951 (2016 est.) of which 70% are under the age of 30 and 35% are between the ages of 14 and 30. Tajiks who speak Tajik (a dialect of Persian) are the main ethnic group, although there are sizeable minorities of Uzbeks and Russians, whose numbers are declining due to emigration.The Pamiris of Badakhshan, a small population of Yaghnobi people, and a sizeable minority of Ismailis are all considered to belong to the larger group of Tajiks. All citizens of Tajikistan are called Tajikistanis.
In 1989, ethnic Russians in Tajikistan made up 7.6% of the population, but they are now less than 0.5%, after the civil war spurred Russian emigration.The ethnic German population of Tajikistan has also declined due to emigration: having topped at 38,853 in 1979, it has almost vanished since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

TAJIKISTAN-2021/BRILLIANT OF THE EAST/ENGLISH
#TAJIKISTAN #LIKE #REPOST
The land that is now Tajikistan has been inhabited continuously since 4000 B.C.E. Sogdiana, Bactria, Merv and Khorasan were the four principal divisions of ancient Central Asia inhabited by the ancestors of the present-day Tajiks, who are now found only in historic Bactria and Sogdiana. Bactria was located in northern Afghanistan between the Hindu Kush mountain range and the Amu Darya river, and some areas of south Tajikistan. Bactria was a center of various kingdoms or empires, and is probably where Zoroastrianism originated.
During the Achaemenid period (550 B.C.E. to 329 B.C.E.), Sogdiana was a province of the Persian Empire. Tajikistan cities Panjakent and Istarawshan were founded in that period.
The name “Tajikistan” means the “Land of the Tajiks. The word Tajik may come from the name of a pre-Islamic tribe, and means crown or royalty. Tajikistan frequently appeared as Tadjikistan or Tadzhikistan in English, though when pronounced in English many Tajiks say Tojikiston. To distinguish between the nationality and the ethnicity, some sources use the adjective Tajikistani for the citizens of Tajikistan.
With an area of 55,251 square miles (143,100 square kilometres), Tajikistan is the smallest nation in Central Asia by area. It is slightly smaller than Wisconsin in the United States. Its maximum east-to-west extent is 435 miles (700 kilometers), and its maximum north-to-south extent is 217 miles (350 kilometers).
The Pamir-Alay mountain system covers more than 50 percent of the country and is over 10,000 feet (3000 meters) above sea level. That system includes two of the three highest elevations in the former Soviet Union: Lenin Peak at 23,405 feet (7134 meters) and Ismail Samani Peak at 24,589 feet (7495 meters). The mountains contain numerous glaciers, the largest of which, Fedchenko Glacier, covers more than 270 square miles (700 square kilometers) and is the largest glacier in the world outside the polar regions.
The only areas of lower land are in the north, which is part of the Fergana Valley, the most densely populated region in Central Asia, which spreads across northern Tajikistan from Uzbekistan on the west to Kyrgyzstan on the east, and in the southern Kafirnigan and Vakhsh valleys, which form the Amu Darya and have much higher rainfall. Rivers bring rich soil deposits into the Fergana Valley from the surrounding mountains, creating a series of fertile oases prized for agriculture.
The largest rivers are the Syr Darya and the Amu Darya. The Amu Darya and Panj rivers mark the border with Afghanistan, and Tajikistan's mountains are the major source of water for the Aral Sea. Tajikistan’s second largest river, the Vakhsh, was dammed at several points for irrigation and electric power generation, most notably at Norak (Nurek), east of Dushanbe, where one of the world's highest dams forms the Norak Reservoir. Numerous factories were built along the Vakhsh.
Most of Tajikistan's lakes are of glacial origin and are located in the Pamir region. The largest, the Qarokul, is a salt lake devoid of life, lying at an elevation of 13,780 feet (4200 meters).
The capital city Dushanbe, formerly Dyushambe or Stalinabad, with a population of 562,000, is located on the southern slopes above the Kafirnigan valley. The name is derived from the Persian word for Monday and refers to the fact that it was a popular Monday marketplace. The second largest city is Khujand, situated on the Syr Darya river at the mouth of the Fergana Valley, with a population of 149,000.
Climate
Tajikistan's climate is continental, subtropical, and semiarid, with some desert areas. The climate changes drastically according to elevation. The Fergana Valley and other lowlands are shielded by mountains from Arctic air masses, but temperatures in that region still drop below freezing for more than 100 days a year. In the subtropical south-western lowlands, which have the highest average temperatures, the climate is arid, although some sections now are irrigated for farming. At Tajikistan's lower elevations, the average temperature range is 73°F to 86°F (23°C to 30°C) in July and 30°F to 37°F ( -1° to 3°C) in January. In the eastern Pamirs, the average July temperature is 41°F (5°C), and the average January temperature is 5°F to –4°F (-15° to -20°C).
Tajikistan is the wettest of the Central Asian republics, with the average annual precipitation for the Kafiristan and Vakhsh valleys in the south being around 20 to 24 inches (500mm to 600mm), and up to 60 inches (1500mm) in the mountains. At the Fedchenko Glacier, as much as 88 inches (2236mm) of snow falls each year. Most precipitation occurs in the winter and spring.
Because Tajikistan lies in an active seismic belt, severe earthquakes are common.
From Dushanbe to Hulbuk - Tajikistan 4K Travel Channel
Early in the morning, the convoy with three drivers arrived at our hotel in Dushanbe. They will take us from Dushanbe through the Pamir to Osh in Kyrgyzstan. Shane Dallas, also known as the Travel Camel, has brought together the participants of this tour. He is waiting for the drivers and the guide in the lobby of the Hotel Lotus.
The executing organization is Pamir Guides, based in Murghab. In fact, most of the drivers and guides of the company live in Osh but originate from Murgab or the surrounding area.
After a first get-together, we stow our luggage and set off. Destination of the first day is Kalaikhum, about 370 km away.
Shortly after Dushanbe, we are stopped on the first long straight road section. A policeman waved with a radar gun around in the air. It did not look like he could carry out a sensible measurement this way. Even so, the drivers had to pay for the supposedly too fast driving.
The Pamir Highway usually leads directly from Dushanbe to Kalaikhum. This route is also known as the northern route. The southern route leads via Hulbuk and Kulob to the valley of the Panj River. Many members of the Tajik government of Duschanbe originate from this region. This route is longer than the northern one, but the road surface is much better. At that time we do not yet appreciate this.
From Dushanbe, we drive eastwards but turn to the south after approx. 20 km. Then the road climbs continuously. After a short time, we pass the 4.5-kilometer-long Khatlon Tunnel (formerly called Chormaghzak Tunnel) before the road descends again into the Vakhsh Valley. A bridge crosses the river west of Nurek City.
Immediately afterward, the road climbs again and leads through the approximately 2.2 km long Shar-Shar Tunnel, renamed Ozodi (Freedom) Tunnel. Leaving the tunnel, the view opens towards the Nurek Dam, currently the highest dam in the world. A 300 m high dam holds back the lake to more than 70 km in length. It was built with Soviet help in 1961. An even higher dam with a height of 335 m is upstream under construction. It is to generate electricity for two further aluminum plants and for the export.
The making of the two tunnels started with Chinese help in 2007. China invested a total of $ 720 million in Tajikistan.

Früh am Morgen erreicht der Konvoi mit drei Fahrern unser Hotel in Duschnabe. Sie sollen uns von Duschanbe durch das Pamir nach Osh in Kirgistan bringen. Shane Dallas, alias das Travel Camel, hat die Teilnehmer dieser Tour zusammengebracht. Sprungbereit erwartet er die Fahrer und den Guide in der Lobby des Hotel Lotus.
Durchführende Organisation ist Pamir Guides mit Sitz in Murgab (Murghob). Tatsächlich leben die meisten Fahrer und Guides der Firma in Osh, stammen aber gebürtig aus Murgab oder der Umgebung.
Nach dem ersten Kennenlernen wird das Gepäck verstaut und wir machen uns auf den Weg. Erstes Tagesziel ist Kalaikhum, ca. 370 km entfernt.
Schon kurz nach Duschanbe werden wir auf dem ersten langen geraden Straßenabschnitt unfreiwillig gestoppt. Ein Polizist fuchtelte mit einer Radarpistole in der Luft herum. Es sah nicht danach aus, dass er auf diese Art und Weise eine vernünftige Messung durchführen konnte. Nichtsdestotrotz wurden die Fahrer wegen angeblichem zu schnell Fahren zur Kasse gebeten.
Der Pamir Highway führt normalerweise direkt von Duschanbe nach Kalaikhum. Dieser Weg wird auch als die nördliche Strecke bezeichnet. Die südliche Strecke führt über Hulbuk und Kulob in das Tal des Pandsch. Aus dieser Gegend stammen viele Mitglieder der tadschikischen Regierung in Duschanbe. Diese Strecke ist länger als die nördliche, aber der Straßenbelag ist viel besser. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt wissen wir dies aber noch nicht zu schätzen.
Von Duschanbe aus fahren wir nach Osten, biegen aber nach ca. 20 km nach Süden ab. Danach beginnt die Straße stetig anzusteigen. Schon nach kurzer Zeit passieren wir zuerst den knapp 4,5 km langen Chormaghzak (Khatlon) Tunnel bevor die Straße wieder abwärts, in das Tal des Vakhsh (Wachsch) führt. Westlich der Stadt Nurek (Norak) überquert eine Brücke den Fluss.
Sofort danach steigt die Straße wieder an und wird durch den ca. 2,2 km langen Shar-Shar (Ozadi) Tunnel geleitet. Nach dem Verlassen des Tunnels wird der Blick freigegeben auf den Nurek Staudamm, den zurzeit höchsten Staudamm der Welt. Eine 300 m hohe Staumauer staut den See auf über 70 km Länge auf. Sie wurde 1961 mit sowjetischer Hilfe gebaut. Ein noch höherer Damm mit 335 m Höhe ist flussaufwärts in Bau. Er soll Strom für zwei weitere Aluminiumwerke und den Export liefern.
Der Bau der beiden Tunnel wurde 2007 mit chinesischer Hilfe gestartet. China investierte insgesamt $720 Millionen in Tadschikistan.

Nurek Dam & Power Plant | Tajikistan ????????
The Nurek Dam (Russian: Нурекская ГЭС; Tajik: Нерӯгоҳи обии Норак, Nerūgohi obii Norak, Tajik for Nurek Hydro-electric Station) is an earth-fill embankment dam on the Vakhsh River in Tajikistan. Its primary purpose is a hydroelectric power generation and its power station has an installed capacity of 3,015 MW. Construction of the dam began in 1961 and the power station's first generator was commissioned in 1972. The last generator was commissioned in 1979 and the entire project was completed in 1980 when Tajikistan was still a republic within the Soviet Union, becoming the tallest dam in the world at the time. At 300 m (984 ft),[1][2][3] it is currently the second tallest man-made dam in the world, after being surpassed by Jinping-I Dam in 2013. The Rogun Dam, also along the Vakhsh in Tajikistan, may exceed it in size when completed.

Tajikistan is a mountainous, landlocked country in Central Asia with an area of 143,100 km2 (55,300 sq mi) and an estimated population of 8.7 million people as of 2016. It is bordered by Afghanistan to the south, Uzbekistan to the west, Kyrgyzstan to the north, and China to the east.

Kayrakkum Reservoir in Khujand, Tajikistan
Kayrakkum Reservoir, also spelled variously as Qayroqqum, Qayraqqum, Kayrakum or Kairakum, is a large artificial lake in Ghafurov District of Sughd Province, in northwestern Tajikistan. In 2016, the reservoir was renamed Tajik Sea by the country's parliament. The reservoir lies in the western part of the Fergana Valley on the Syr Darya river. The provincial capital of Khujand lies about 15 km west of the dam. It is also a Ramsar site.
20 km from Khujand there is one of the natural attractions of Sogdian region – Kayrakkum reservoir, stretching for 50 km to the east. This artificial lake was made in the 50-s of the XX century to build a hydroelectric station and control the Syr Darya runoff. The country’s inhabitants, having no access to the ocean, often call it the Tajik Sea.
The statistics of the Kayrakkum reservoir in figures looks quite impressive: its length is 55 km, width is 20 km, maximum depth is 25 meters, and the total water volume is 4.2 km3. The length of the dam is 1,205 meters and while the height is 32 meters. In addition, in cold winters the Kayrakkum freezes, and in summers the air temperature near the coast reaches 30-35 degrees Celsius.
An artificial lake has become a new ecosystem of the region: its waters are rich in fish species (pike, carp, catfish, perch, bream, etc.), moreover it became a stopover for birds of passage, annually migrating from north Asia to India and other countries.
The Kayrakkum over its half-century history has become a popular holiday destination. It has various sanatoriums, recreation areas and children's camps stretching along the coast. This is a great place for swimming and fishing. Its coast along the whole length is covered by numerous fruit orchards.

map of Tajikistan
Tajikistan (/tɑːˈdʒiːkɪstɑːn/ (audio speaker iconlisten), /tə-, tæ-/; Tajik: Тоҷикистон, Russian: Таджикистан, romanised: Tadzhikistan), officially the Republic of Tajikistan (Tajik: Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон, romanised: Jumhurii Tojikiston), is a landlocked country in Central Asia. It has an area of 143,100 km2 (55,300 sq mi)[7][8][9] and an estimated population of 9,537,645 people.[16] Its capital and largest city is Dushanbe. It is bordered by Afghanistan to the south, Uzbekistan to the west, Kyrgyzstan to the north and China to the east. The traditional homelands of the Tajik people include present-day Tajikistan as well as parts of Afghanistan and Uzbekistan.
The territory that now constitutes Tajikistan was previously home to several ancient cultures, including the city of Sarazm[17] of the Neolithic and the Bronze Age and was later home to kingdoms ruled by people of different faiths and cultures, including the Oxus Valley Civilisation, Andronovo Culture, Buddhism, Nestorian Christianity, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism and Islam. The area has been ruled by numerous empires and dynasties, including the Achaemenid Empire, Sasanian Empire, Hephthalite Empire, Samanid Empire and the Mongol Empire. After being ruled by the Timurid dynasty and the Khanate of Bukhara, the Timurid Renaissance flourished. The region was later conquered by the Russian Empire and subsequently by the Soviet Union. Within the Soviet Union, the country's modern borders were drawn when it was part of Uzbekistan as an autonomous republic before becoming a full-fledged Soviet republic in 1929.
On 9 September 1991, Tajikistan became an independent sovereign nation as the Soviet Union disintegrated. A civil war was fought almost immediately after independence, lasting from 1992 to 1997. Since the end of the war, newly established political stability and foreign aid have allowed the country's economy to grow. The country has been led by President Emomali Rahmon since 1994

Tajikistan consists of 4 administrative divisions. These are the provinces (viloyat) of Sughd and Khatlon, the autonomous province of Gorno-Badakhshan (abbreviated as GBAO), and the Region of Republican Subordination (RRP – Raiony Respublikanskogo Podchineniya in transliteration from Russian or NTJ – Ноҳияҳои тобеи ҷумҳурӣ in Tajik; formerly known as Karotegin Province). Each region is divided into several districts (Tajik: Ноҳия, nohiya or raion), which in turn are subdivided into jamoats (village-level self-governing units) and then villages (qyshloqs). As of 2006, there were 58 districts and 367 jamoats in Tajikistan.

MAP OF TAJIKISTAN
hello my friends. this is a map of Tajikistan. Tajikistan is landlocked, and is the smallest nation in Central Asia by area. It is covered by mountains of the Pamir range, and most of the country is over 3,000 metres above sea level. The only major areas of lower land are in the north , (part of the Fergana Valley), and in the southern Kofarnihon and Vakhsh river valleys, which form the Amu Darya. Dushanbe is located on the southern slopes above the Kofarnihon valley. Tajikistan's rivers, such as the Vakhsh and the Panj, have great hydropower potential, and the government has focused on attracting investment for projects for internal use and electricity exports. Tajikistan is home to the Nurek Dam, the second highest dam in the world. Tajikistan consists of four administrative divisions. These are the provinces of Sughd and Khatlon, the autonomous province of Gorno-Badakhshan, and the Region of Republican Subordination. Each region is divided into several districts , which in turn are subdivided into jamoats that are village-level self-governing units and then villages. As of 2006, there were 58 districts and 367 jamoats in Tajikistan. thats all.

Привет, мои друзья. это карта Таджикистана. Таджикистан не имеет выхода к морю и является самой маленькой страной в Центральной Азии по площади. Он покрыт горами Памира, а большая часть страны находится на высоте более 3000 метров над уровнем моря. Единственные крупные районы низменности находятся на севере (часть Ферганской долины) и в южных долинах рек Кофарнихон и Вахш, которые образуют Амударью. Душанбе расположен на южных склонах над долиной Кофарнихон. Реки Таджикистана, такие как Вахш и Пяндж, обладают большим гидроэнергетическим потенциалом, и правительство сосредоточило внимание на привлечении инвестиций для проектов внутреннего потребления и экспорта электроэнергии. В Таджикистане находится Нурекская ГЭС, вторая по высоте плотина в мире. Таджикистан состоит из четырех административных единиц. Это Согдийская и Хатлонская области, Горно-Бадахшанская автономная область и район республиканского подчинения. Каждая область делится на несколько районов, которые, в свою очередь, подразделяются на джамоаты, являющиеся самоуправляющимися единицами сельского уровня, а затем на села. По состоянию на 2006 год в Таджикистане было 58 районов и 367 джамоатов. вот и все. Пожалуйста, прокомментируйте и подпишитесь на лучшие карты. до свидания.
Hola mis amigos. este es un mapa de Tayikistán. Tayikistán no tiene salida al mar y es la nación más pequeña de Asia Central por área. Está cubierto por montañas de la cordillera del Pamir, y la mayor parte del país se encuentra a más de 3.000 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Las únicas áreas importantes de tierras bajas se encuentran en el norte (parte del valle de Fergana) y en los valles de los ríos Kofarnihon y Vakhsh del sur, que forman el Amu Darya. Dushanbe se encuentra en las laderas del sur sobre el valle de Kofarnihon. Los ríos de Tayikistán, como el Vakhsh y el Panj, tienen un gran potencial hidroeléctrico y el gobierno se ha centrado en atraer inversiones para proyectos de uso interno y exportación de electricidad. Tayikistán alberga la presa de Nurek, la segunda presa más alta del mundo. Tayikistán consta de cuatro divisiones administrativas. Estas son las provincias de Sughd y Khatlon, la provincia autónoma de Gorno-Badakhshan y la Región de Subordinación Republicana. Cada región se divide en varios distritos, que a su vez se subdividen en jamoats que son unidades autónomas a nivel de aldea y luego aldeas. A partir de 2006, había 58 distritos y 367 jamoats en Tayikistán. #tajikistan #tajikistantoday #tajikistannews #mapschool #mapsolo #petamap #mapamap #cartemap #kartemap
Desire for Discovery: Epic Journey Along Afghanistan's Khorog - Kalaykumb
Today we would like to show you some places that are rarely visited by an average tourist. The border zone between Tajikistan and Afghanistan, where the river Panj leads from Tajikistan to Afghanistan. Historically, this river divides two countries here and, one may say, two different worlds.
Panj translates from Tajik as number: Five. This river is formed at the confluence of the Pamir and Vakhandarya rivers. The confluence of the Panj with the Vakhsh River forms one of the longest and most full-flowing rivers in Central Asia - the Amu Darya.
The height of the source of the Panj is 2817 m above the sea level. The river flows between Tajikistan on the right bank and Afghanistan on the left.
The length of the Panj is 921 km and the basin area is 114,000 km². The average water flow is 1,000 m³/sec. Water from the river is used mainly for irrigation in both countries.
Khorog is the administrative centre of Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast.
It is located in the southwestern part of the province and borders Afghanistan in the West. It is 525km from Khorogh to Dushanbe.
Khorog is the tourist centre of the Pamirs. Many tourist routes begin here. Tourists from around the world, year after year, come here to see the unique nature, mountains covered with eternal snow, Lake Sarez and other beauties of the Pamirs.
The town is situated at an altitude of 2200 m above sea level. It is one of the highest cities in the former Soviet Union and the highest city in Tajikistan.
The climate in Khorog is semi-arid. During the year, there is a small amount of precipitation. The average annual temperature here is 9.3°C.
Khorog is an important regional centre for commerce, transport and education. The town's educational institutions include: Khorog State University, a branch of International University of Central Asia, and the Aga Khan Foundation Lyceum.
The strategically important Pamir road passes through Khorog, connecting it to Dushanbe and Kyrgyz Osh.
There is a road that connects the city to China via the Kulma-Karakorum Pass. It provides the main flow of imports into the town. The Aga Khan Foundation has built five bridges here on rivers Panj, Ishkashim, Shugnan, Vanj and Darvaz.
The population of Khorog is more than 30,000 thousand people.
The Pamir languages spoken by the local population belong to the south-eastern groups of the Iranian branch of the Indo-European family of languages. There are differences from Tajik, as it belongs to the southwestern group of Iranian languages.
By the way, on the eastern outskirts of the city you may find the Pamir Botanical Garden. It is the highest in the CIS (2,320m) and the second highest in the world after the Nepalese. On the territory of the botanical garden one can see more than 4 thousand species of plants from all over the world.
Kalai-Khumb is the centre of the Darvaz district in Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region. The name translates as: Fortress on the Khumb River.
This village is located 1200m above the sea level. It is 368km from Dushanbe and borders Afghanistan.
It is 235km from Khorog to Qalai Khumb. It has a population of over 2,500 people.
According to historical records, Qalai Khumb was founded in 15th century as a fortress. It was the capital of the independent shahdom of Darvaz until 1878.
It was an outpost on the Pamir border where the eastern frontier of the Timurid Empire was guarded.
The road from Khorogh to Kalai-Khumb runs along the Panj River through a deep gorge. The road is very bad and can only be crossed by jeep. In some places the road is very narrow, where overtaking is impossible for a long time. Often you have to wait for oncoming vehicles to pass and make way.
But despite all the hardships on the way, the landscape, with its high mountains and powerful stream of the Panj River, is very impressive. From here you can see the life of the Afghans on the other side of the river and wish us all: peaceful skies over our heads!

The Panj, also known as Pyandzh or Pyanj, is a tributary of the Amu Darya. The river is 921 kilometres long and has a basin area of 114,000 square kilometres. It forms a considerable part of the Afghanistan–Tajikistan border.
The river is formed by the confluence of the Pamir River and the Wakhan River near the village of Qalʿa-ye Panja (Qalʽeh-ye Panjeh). From there, it flows westwards, forming the border of Afghanistan and Tajikistan. After passing the city of Khorugh, capital of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region of Tajikistan it receives water from one of its main tributaries, the Bartang River. It then turns towards the southwest, before joining the river Vakhsh and forming the greatest river of Central Asia, the Amu Darya. Panj played an important role during Soviet times, and was a strategic river during the Soviet military operations in Afghanistan in the 1980s.
The Amu Darya is a major river in Central Asia and Afghanistan. Rising in the Pamir Mountains, north of the Hindu Kush, the Amu Darya is formed by the confluence of the Vakhsh and Panj rivers, in the Tigrovaya Balka Nature Reserve on the border between Afghanistan and Tajikistan, and flows from there north-westwards into the southern remnants of the Aral Sea. In its upper course, the river forms part of Afghanistan's northern border with Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan. In ancient history, the river was regarded as the boundary of Greater Iran with Turan, which roughly corresponded to present-day Central Asia.
