There are no mandatory immunisations for those traveling to Tajikistan but you should be up-to-date on Typhoid Tetanus Polio and Hepatitis A. Malaria is present in some parts of Tajikistan and we advise you to consult your local GP or travel centre as to the appropriate immunisations and preventative treatment.

Cultural Sensitivity

It is common to interact with locals, each with their distinct customs and customs. We therefore request that you be courteous and show them respect. Your tour-guides and tour-leaders will always be in a position to provide you with the appropriate advice.

First, it is important to know that Central Asia has a more flexible approach towards Islam than its neighbours in Pakistan and Afghanistan. However, it should be noted that it is technically considered to be a Muslim region and therefore a little bit of caution must be taken at certain locations. Long-sleeved shirts and shorts are acceptable for males and females in cities, however in the case of visiting any mosques active, people should wear trousers that do not go below the knee, and tops that cover shoulders. A head scarf is also advised for females. In this tour, we’re traveling in remote locations that are not frequently frequented by tourists. Locals are extremely modest when it comes to their clothes and therefore you’re likely to feel more comfortable wearing quite conservative clothing too.

Language & Religion

The official language of Tajikistan is Tajik. Russian is used regularly for communication and business.

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

Food and beverages

The food on the tour tends predominantly on soups, proteins and potatoes. There are a few vegetables that are difficult to locate in remote areas or in higher elevations. There are plenty of dried fruits and nuts to try though.

The options for alcohol are limited to beers or vodka. If you want to try something different, such as Scotch or Gin is recommended to buy the alcohol duty-free and bring it along. It isn’t easy to locate mixer drinks such as tonic water.
