Health and Immunization

Cultural Sensitivity

You are likely to meet locals, each with their own distinct customs and customs. We therefore ask you to be respectful and show them respect. You can always rely on your guides or tour-leaders to help you.

The first thing to note about traveling in Central Asia is that most areas, particularly the towns and cities are more relaxed in their approach to Islam as compared to their counterparts to the south in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is a Muslim region, so it’s crucial to be aware in specific places. Both women and men can wear T-shirts and shorts in cities, they should not be wearing T-shirts or sleeves that are long. However, anyone visiting places of worship should wear pants that are below the knees and tops that cover the shoulders. Also, a headscarf is advised for women. On this trip, we will be travelling in quite remote areas not often frequented by tourists. The people of the area are modest in their attire and you’re likely to feel more comfortable dressed in conservative clothes too.

Language & Religion

Tajikistan’s official language is Tajik. Russian is still used routinely for communication and business.

The majority of people adhere to Sunni Islam, with the small minority being followers of Russian Orthodox, Catholicism, Buddhism and Judaism.

Drinks and food

The food on the tour tends heavily on soups, meat and potatoes. In the remote areas and at higher elevations, vegetables are difficult to come by. There are plenty of dried nuts and dried fruits for you to try.

With regard to alcohol, your options are typically limited to vodka or beer. Anyone looking for something different – Scotch or Gin for example – should buy it duty free and bring it with them. Mixer drinks like tonic waters aren’t easy to locate, however.
