Tourists visiting Tajikistan do not need to be vaccinated, however, they should be vaccinated in Tetanus and Typhoid as well as Polio, Hepatitis A and Polio. Malaria can also be seen in Tajikistan and it’s an excellent idea to talk to your physician for recommendations on vaccinations.

Cultural Sensitivity

It is common to interact with locals, each with their own unique customs and traditions. It is your responsibility to show respect and consideration to the locals. You can always rely on your tour guides or tour leaders to assist you.

It is first important to know that Central Asia has a more flexible attitude to Islam than its neighboring countries of Pakistan and Afghanistan. It is a Muslim region, so it’s important to be cautious in certain regions. Although both women and men are allowed to wear shorts and T-shirts in the city, they should not be wearing T-shirts or sleeves that are long. However, anyone visiting active mosques should wear pants that are below the knees and tops that cover shoulders. Ladies should also wear the headscarf. The trip takes us to remote locations that aren’t often visited by tourists. Locals are extremely modest in their attire and thus you’re likely to feel more relaxed wearing quite conservative clothing too.

Language & Religion

Tajik is the official dialect of Tajikistan. Russian is still extensively used for communication and business.

Most people follow Sunni Islam. A small number of people are followers of Russian Orthodox, Catholicism and Buddhism.

Food and drink

This tour concentrates on soups and other meats. In distant and higher altitude regions, vegetables can be difficult to come by. There are plenty of dried fruit and nuts to try though.

The alcohol choices are limited to beer or vodka. Anyone wanting to try something different – like Scotch or Gin is recommended to buy it at no cost and carry it with them. It isn’t easy to locate mixer drinks such as tonic water.
