Health and Immunization

There are no compulsory immunisations required for visitors to Tajikistan however you must be up-to-date with Typhoid, Tetanus, Polio as well as Hepatitis A.

Cultural Sensitivity

While on our trips, you will frequently interact with local people all with their own distinct tradition and customs. It is your responsibility to show respect and consideration towards the local population. Your tour-guides and tour-leaders will always be able to advise you accordingly.

One thing to remember about travel in Central Asia is that most areas, specifically the towns and cities, have a much more laid-back approach to Islam as compared to their counterparts to the south in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is a Muslim area so it is crucial to be aware when visiting certain areas. Although both genders can wear shorts or T-shirts in cities, they should not wear long sleeves or T-shirts. But, those who visit places of worship should wear pants which are lower than the knees and tops that cover the shoulders. Ladies should also wear a headscarf. The trip takes us to remote areas that aren’t typically visited by tourists. The local people are very modest in their dress and you’re likely to feel more comfortable dressed in conservative clothes too.
