Overview – Tajikistan National Park Trek
The Tajikistan National Park Trek is an exceptional trip into the heart of the Pamir Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its breathtaking natural splendor. This circle journey allows hikers to explore some of Central Asia’s most pristine and undisturbed scenery. The journey starts in the beautiful village of Bachor and continues via breathtaking valleys, brilliant blue lakes, and towering snow-capped summits.

The area is also home to a diverse range of fauna and unusual flora, adding to its allure.
