Tajik/Uzbek Local Travel Agents – These are likely to be a lot cheaper but a bit more rough round the edges than a more expensive Western package. Choosing to use local services supports the local economy. I have only listed the ones that have websites, but there are more locally based in Dushanbe without websites.

* Hamsafar Travel – Can arrange trekking, mountaineering, jeep tours, etc, based in Dushanbe.

*META (Murghab Ecotourism Association) – Can arrange various activities in the Pamirs, provide homestays and run Pamir Highway Jeep tours from Dushanbe to Osh (Kyrgyzstan).

*Tajikintourservice - Visa support, guides, bookings. Based in Dushanbe and well established.

*Advantour – although these guys don’t seem to include the Pamirs and based outside Taj. They do have a rather good list of destinations that gives a good idea of what is in the area.

*Goulya’s Outdoor Adventures – also runs an outdoor hiking club, based in Marian’s Guesthouse, Dushanbe.

*Pamir Adventure – provides impressive options for expeditions, hikes and tours. A well experienced agency.

SAYOH – State Utility Tourist Enterprise – unfortunately quite a lot of the website is in Russian

*Pamir Travel Company – website looks like it needs a bit of updating!

Western Agencies
These range from the reasonable to the most expensive tours going. This website will actually provide guidance on how to do every single one of these tours independently at a fraction of the cost. Unfortunately most of the western tour companies haven’t cottoned on yet – or at least haven’t updated their websites to take into account the now much cheaper Air Baltic flights to Dushanbe. Turkish Air flights are less competitive and involve the change in Istanbul. All agencies linked to have English websites.

*MIR Corporation (US Based) – a well established tour operator for tours in Central Asia.

*Somon Travel - based in London and offering Visa service, LOI and tours.

*Great Game – UK based. Most established and experienced agency western based agency in the region. Website is however getting out of date.

*Audley Travel – They offer a few different tours for Tajikistan.

*Steppes Travel – UK based.

Wakhan Tours

Firstly, it is my understanding that all these western tours are actually operating the tours in Afghan by working in partnership with Mountain Unity. If you are interested in sorting out your own, very much cheaper trip to the Wakhan I will be adding on links and a ‘How to’ section to this website. It is not so difficult. Due to the visa timeframes it is likely that the tours below have similar itineraries.

*Wild Frontiers – UK based. Currently running the first and most publicized trip to the Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan, there is some BBC footage knocking about. This company also run tours around Tajikistan.

*Geographic Expeditions – US Based. Runs trips to the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan via the Tajik Iskashim crossing. Though doesn’t focus much on exploring Tajikistan.
