Tajikistan is a country that could have been made for off-road driving. Though the main transport arteries are reasonable, getting beyond the larger cities requires determination, advanced driving skills, and nerves of steel. The extraordinary vistas and the incredible experiences that await you beyond the roads and tracks more than compensate for any discomfort Learn more…
Paramount Journey’s expeditions take place in areas where time has stood still, far beyond the reaches of development and the well-trodden tourist trail. Every part of Tajikistan has its individual character, from pristine alpine lakes and thundering rivers, to lush green valleys and empty high-altitude desert plains. Often you will see several of these unique ecosystems within a single day, though of course we recommend you stay longer to understand and appreciate the beauty Learn more…

Our treks diverge across the mountains, with several of the most popular routes leading to Kuli Kalon, the Alauddin and Mutnoe Lakes, and Big Alo. The passes may be steep, and the mid-day sun searing, but each bend in the path brings with it another extraordinary vista of the likes of Chimtarga (5,489m) and Bodkhona (5,183m), and perhaps an encounter with shepherds and their flocks, a cherry orchard, or the opportunity to share a cup of tea with a local family Learn more…

Rather than repeating well-worn routes, we lead the fittest and most determined trekkers up peaks over 6,000m, giving an incredible high-altitude experience without the need for specialist climbing skills.

Almost every part of Tajikistan is criss-crossed with glacier-fed rivers, including the Panj, Zarafshan and Vaksh. Although the water sports industry in Tajikistan is as yet under-developed, there are exciting opportunities for rafting Class IV to Class VI rivers in the Pamirs and Pamir-Alay, riding the Class V rapids on the Yagnob, Fan, Gunt and Yazgulem Rivers. Many of the rivers have never been rafted or kayaked along their entire lengths, so there are plenty of opportunities for firsts, and in the late summer Learn more…
Tajikistan is an extraordinary academic case study, whether you are interested in geology and the environment, languages and archeology, economics and politics, or more or less anything else. The Soviet fence that existed for much of the 20th century means that the country is largely undiscovered by those in the West, especially as there is limited information available on the Internet in English, and hence it is an ideal, exciting destination for any academic field trip.
