First, it is crucial to remember that Central Asia has a more open-minded attitude towards Islam than its neighbours in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Central Asia is an Muslim area , and it’s crucial to be aware in specific zones. While both men and women can wear shorts or T-shirts in urban areas, they should not wear T-shirts or sleeves that are long. Anyone who visits active mosques should wear trousers which are lower than the knees and wear tops that cover the shoulders. A head scarf is also suggested for women. Throughout this tour we are traveling in remote locations which are rarely visited by tourists. The locals are modest when it comes to dressing, therefore it is probable that you will feel more comfortable in conservative clothing.

Language and Religion

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

The majority of the people follow Sunni Islam, with the minority of people who adhere to Russian Orthodox, Catholicism, Buddhism and Judaism.

Food and beverages

This tour concentrates on soups and meats. There are a few vegetables that are difficult to locate in remote areas or in higher elevations. However, there’s plenty of dried fruits and nuts that you can taste.

Regarding alcohol, the choice is generally limited to vodka and beer so anyone wanting something different – Scotch or Gin for example – should purchase it duty free and take it home. It can be difficult to locate mixer drinks such as tonic water.
