There are no compulsory immunisations for travelers to Tajikistan but you should be up-to-date on Typhoid Tetanus Polio as well as Hepatitis A. Malaria can be found in certain parts of Tajikistan therefore we suggest you consult with your doctor or travel center regarding the most appropriate vaccinations and preventative treatments.
Cultural Sensitivity
You will often interact with locals, each with their own unique customs and traditions. We therefore ask you to be considerate and to show them respect. The tour guides and tour guides will always be in a position to give you advice accordingly.
One thing to remember about travelling in Central Asia is that most regions, including towns and cities have a much more laid-back approach to Islam as compared to their counterparts to the south in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Central Asia is an Muslim region, so it’s important to be cautious in specific areas. T-shirts and shorts that are long are suitable for men and women in the city, but should you visit any mosques with active worshippers, people should wear trousers that fall below the knee and tops that cover shoulders. Ladies should also wear their headscarf. The trip takes us to remote areas that aren’t usually visited by tourists. Locals are modest when it comes to dressing, so it is likely that you will feel more comfortable wearing conservative clothing.
Language & Religion
Tajik is the official language spoken in Tajikistan. Russian is still routinely used for business and communication.
A majority of the population follow Sunni Islam, with the minority of the population following Russian Orthodox, Catholicism, Buddhism and Judaism.
Food and drink
This tour concentrates on soups and other meats. Vegetables can be difficult to discover in remote areas, and at higher altitudes. There are plenty of dried fruits and nuts for you to try.
For alcohol, options are generally limited to vodka and beer so anyone wanting something else – Scotch or Gin for example – should purchase it duty-free and then bring it to the store. Mixer drinks, such as tonic water, can be extremely difficult to come across, but.
