Trekking Tajikistan

My wife and I went there (and to several other "Stans") a couple of years ago, and of all the places we traveled in Central Asia, it was our favorite. The people are wonderful, the scenery is spactacular in an erily barren way. Passes are over 15,000 feet in mountain ranges over 20,000 feet. The Pamirs are indeed "the roof of the world".

GO! It is worth ALL the paperwork you have to go through, and you get an awsome momento in your passport as all the former Soviet states still do full page visas!

Awesome! Thanks for the first hand account Randall. I've heard great things about the "Stans" as well.

Go back to July and August of 2006. I started a travel log when I planned for our trip to Central Asia, and have been running it when we travel for our family.

Some interesting pictures and thoughts in there.

And thanks for your reply, Kraig.
