Timelapse Adventure of Tajikistan, 2014

I am mostly interested in photography but sometimes I capture the time-lapse images of the clouds and mountains if there is an opportunity. I have been shooting these scenes during my hiking trips in the Turkestan and Zerafshan mountain ranges in Sughd province (Tajikistan) in 2014.

48 Hours in Tajikistan: Explore Dushanbe and the Fann Mountains

Travel to Tajikistan probably isn’t your first choice when thinking about a weekend away from Dubai. My first reaction when we booked Tajikistan was… what have we gotten ourselves into...?

It is definitely a destination to consider, so let us convince you why we think Tajikistan is the hidden gem of Central Asia.

Between the unexpected language barrier, money issues (see Tips below), cleanliness of the streets, gorgeous landscapes and incredibly friendly people, we had our share of everything that makes a weekend trip like this so special.

So here goes, we'll try to pack as many helpful tips below as possible so you can enjoy an incredible 48 hours of travel to Tajikistan as well.

Travel to Tajikistan - Questions & Answers:

How to travel to Tajikistan from Dubai?

The best way to travel to Tajikistan from Dubai is by plane. We took a very convenient flight with Somon Air from DXB to Dushanbe, Tajikistan. Comfortable and efficient, the flight cost us AED 1,300 each ($330). Somon Air is the new national airline of Tajikistan and while they remain a majority domestic airline, we were surprised at how clean, comfortable and easy the flight was. Considering it was an airline we had never heard of before and our ticket confirmations were all in Tajik, we were skeptical.

What is the weather like in Tajikistan?

We went to Tajikistan in July, and the weather was absolutely beautiful, especially coming from oven-like Dubai. Think 25 degrees during the day, going down to 20 during the night. No humidity, and sun all day long!

If you are going to head up to the Fann mountains, and you'd be insane not to, bring a long sleeve shirt, especially if you go at night. The mountains were topped with snow, even in the middle of the summer.



What to do during 48 Hours in Tajikistan?

1 - Visit the World's Tallest Flagpole

Dushanbe is the capital of Tajikistan, and while it’s small, it is very lively. The tallest flag pole is Trip Advisor’s number 1 attraction, but don't be fooled, it’s worth going to see just to people watch! While the flag and flag pole are interesting themselves it really is the amazingly beautiful setting of the park, the perfectly taken care of gardens, statues, lakes and people strolling that make it so fun to walk through. Drinks and snacks are sold by multiple vendors and you won't need more than a couple bucks to enjoy an afternoon. If you aren't careful, you might get dragged into a Tajik wedding celebration so bring you dancing shoes!

2 -Trek to the Seven Lakes

Hiking and trekking are very popular in Tajikistan. Although they are more suited to a longer stay, it is recommended to tackle the seven lakes trek - made up of seven lakes around the mountains, each one a different color. While a trek will take more time, getting up into the mountains even for a couple hours is an absolute must.



3 - Explore the Hissar Fort

Hissar Fort is only 30 minutes away from Dushanbe city centre, and is an absolute must do. The architecture is gorgeous and the history about it fascinating. We had no idea what to expect but were floored when we arrived to see such an incredible ancient fort, from the 1200's, looking so beautiful and with such a well preserved setting. Getting lost in the old fort and surrounding buildings is very interesting and there is even a watering hole from a natural spring and horseback riding for the kids.

4 - Climb the Fann Mountains

The Fann Mountains are beautiful, and if you have the time we strongly recommend to get up there, if only to admire the view over the valley. If you are scared of heights like me (Anne), it’s a bit of a love/hate moment, but it’s worth it. Stop on the way at one of the artisanal honey making stands along the road and taste organic Tajik honey - honestly the best we’ve ever tasted. Bee careful of bee stings (see what I did there...)

5 - Stroll through Rudaki Park

Rudaki Park (named after the famous Tajik poet) is the central heart beat of Dushanbe and left us quite speechless after getting lost in its seemingly endless sections.


6 - Be a Child at Boghi Poytakht

Plan a trip to Boghi Poytakht Park and the Botanical Garden, both located close to each other on the outskirts of Dushanbe, which is already a small city. The botanical gardens are vast and relaxing to visit while Boghi Poytakht Park is a bustling amusement park complete with roller coasters, a huge ferris wheel and is even connected to a gigantic water park - which we were gutted to run out of time to visit.

Dushanbe, City Walk - Tajikistan 4K Travel Channel

After we visited the bazaar, we still have time to do a city walk in Dushanbe. We go through the Khurarvi Dekhlavi and Valomatzoda Street to reach Rudaki Avenue. It is the boulevard of Dushanbe and leads to the center of Rudaki Park, which we have already visited.
Large densely growing trees provide a pleasant shade in Rudaki Avenue. Automatic sprinkler systems ensure that the green gets enough water.
We pass the National State University, which is adorned with a picture of the current President Emomalij Rahmon. He has been in office since 1994 and elected for a fourth term of office, in 2013. In all Central Asian republics, one pursues a certain personality cult, to preserve a lifelong presidency.
Afterwards, we arrive at the Opera House of Dushanbe, which is a popular meeting place in the city. Looking for a cool drink we visit the New Maza Café. Surprised we notice that every table has a charging possibility for mobile phones.
One reason might be that the academy of science is on the other side of the road. A monument of Bobodzhon Gafurov, a Soviet historian who has written a story of Tajikistan, is in the center of the semicircular building.
The yellow building with the white arched windows is the former National Library. The new one is at Rudaki Park. The next outstanding buildings are the two towers of the Dushanbe Plaza. With their columnar structures at the top, they remind us of the Palace of Knossos the Minoans on Crete.
Large residential blocks dominate the next section. To our astonishment, there is a British Pub.
We reach the Rudaki Park again, but this time we do not stay long. On the right hand is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Later, we discovered a new building at the corner of Shohtemur Street. There is the seat of the government, the tax authority, and the foreign ministry.

Als wir den Basar verlassen haben wir noch Zeit einen kleinen Stadtrundgang zu machen. Wir gehen durch die Khurarvi Dekhlavi und die Valomatzoda Street, um die Rudaki Avenue zu erreichen. Diese ist die Prachtstraße von Duschanbe und führt ins Zentrum zum Rudaki Park, den wir bereits besucht haben.
Große, dicht beieinander stehende Bäume sorgen in Rudaki Avenue für angenehmen Schatten. Automatische Sprinkleranlagen sorgen dafür, dass das Grün genügend Wasser erhält.
Wir passieren die National State University, die mit eine Bild des aktuellen Präsidenten Emomalij Rahmon, der seit 1994 im Amt ist und 2013 für eine vierte Amtszeit gewählt wurde.
Ein gewisser Personenkult wird in allen zentralasiatischen Republiken betrieben, um den Präsidenten ihr Amt lebenslang zu erhalten.
Danach erreichen wir Oper von Duschanbe, die ein beliebter Treffpunkt in der Stadt ist. Auf der Suche nach einem kühlen Getränk besuchen wir das New Maza Café. Überrascht stellen wir fest, dass jeder Tisch über eine Lademöglichkeit für Mobiltelefone verfügt. Soviel Innovation haben wir hier nicht erwartet.
Vielleicht liegt es aber auch daran, dass auf der anderen Straßenseite die Akademie der Wissenschaft ist. Im Mittelpunkt des halbkreisförmigen Gebäudes steht ein Denkmal von Bobodzhon Gafurov, einem sowjetischen Historiker, der eine Geschichte von Tadschikistan verfasst hat.
Das gelbe Gebäude mit den weißen bogenförmigen Fenstern ist die ehemalige Nationalbibliothek. Die neue steht am Rudaki Park.
Die nächsten herausragenden Gebäude sind die beiden Türme des Duschanbe Plaza. Mit ihren säulenförmigen Aufbauten an der Spitze erinnern sie uns an den Palast von Knossos der Minoer auf Kreta.
Der nächste Abschnitt wird von großen Wohnblocks dominiert. Zu unserem Erstaunen gibt es hier ein britisches Pub.
Wir erreichen wieder den Rudaki Park, in dem wir uns diesmal aber nicht lange aufhalten. Zur rechten Hand befindet sich das Außenministerium. Allerdings entdecken wir später einen Neubau an der Ecke zur Shohtemur Street. Dort befindet sich der Sitz der Regierung, die Steuerbehörde und das Außenministerium.

Dushanbe and Beyond: Exploring Tajikistan's Enchanting Capital and the Majestic Pamir Mountains

Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, is a fascinating city that embodies the rich history and culture of Central Asia. With its stunning natural scenery, vibrant markets, and colorful architecture, Dushanbe is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the true essence of Tajikistan.

Our journey to Dushanbe begins with a flight into the city's international airport. As we leave the plane, we are greeted by the warm sun and the crisp, clean air of the mountains. Dushanbe is situated at the foot of the Hissar Mountains, which provide a stunning backdrop to the city.

Our first stop in Dushanbe is the National Museum of Tajikistan. The museum is located in a beautiful neo-classical building and is home to a vast collection of artifacts and exhibits that trace the history of Tajikistan from prehistoric times to the present day. We spend hours exploring the museum, marveling at the ancient pottery, textiles, and jewelry on display.

After the museum, we head to Rudaki Park, one of the largest public spaces in Dushanbe. The park is named after Rudaki, the celebrated Persian poet who lived in the 9th century. It is a popular destination for locals, who come here to relax, play games, and enjoy the fresh air. We stroll through the park, taking in the sights and sounds of the city around us.

Next, we visit the Ismaili Center, a stunning piece of architecture that serves as the spiritual and cultural center for the Ismaili community in Tajikistan. The center was designed by the renowned Indian architect, Ramesh Khosla, and is a testament to the skill and ingenuity of the local craftsmen who built it. The center is open to visitors, and we spend some time exploring the beautiful gardens and the intricately decorated prayer hall.

No trip to Dushanbe would be complete without a visit to the famous bazaar. The Dushanbe Bazaar is a sprawling marketplace that sells everything from fresh produce to handmade textiles. The market is a hub of activity, with vendors calling out their wares and shoppers haggling over prices. We wander through the maze of stalls, sampling local delicacies and picking up souvenirs to take home.

One of the highlights of our trip to Dushanbe is visiting the Hisor Fortress, a medieval fortress that dates back to the 7th century. The fortress sits atop a hill overlooking the city and provides stunning views of the surrounding mountains. We explore the fortress, marveling at the ancient walls and towers and imagining what life must have been like for the soldiers who once guarded the city from here.

Another must-see attraction in Dushanbe is the Tajikistan National Opera and Ballet Theatre. The theater is housed in a beautiful building that combines traditional Tajik design with modern amenities. We attend a performance of the Nutcracker ballet and are blown away by the skill and grace of the dancers.

As we near the end of our journey, we take a day trip to the Varzob Valley, a beautiful region home to several small villages and scenic waterfalls. We hike through the mountains, stopping to take in the stunning views and dip our toes in the crystal-clear streams that run through the valley. We also visit a local village and meet with the villagers, who share their traditional way of life and offer us a taste of their delicious homemade bread.

Finally, we end our trip with a visit to the Statue of Ismoil Somoni, a magnificent statue that stands tall in the center of Dushanbe. The statue is dedicated to Ismoil Somoni, the founder of the Samanid dynasty, considered a national hero in Tajikistan. The statue is a symbol of the country's rich cultural heritage and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Samanid dynasty. As we stand before the statue, we reflect on the many wonders of Dushanbe that we have experienced on our journey, from the ancient fortresses and vibrant bazaars to the breathtaking natural scenery and cultural landmarks. Our trip to Dushanbe has been a journey of discovery and enlightenment, and we leave the city with a deeper appreciation of the beauty and complexity of Tajikistan.
