This new, thoroughly updated third edition of Bradt's Tajikistan is
the most practical guide dedicated exclusively to this breathtaking
country, central Asia's smallest, but home to the biggest tea house
in the world! Bradt's Tajikistan caters for all interests, whether
you're a nature lover, explorer, just want to soak up the stunning
surroundings, or a wildlife enthusiast in search of eagles, elusive
snow leopard or extraordinary Marco Polo sheep. 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 Murgohab 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
Syr Darya 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.
