Tajikistan is the most unusual country in Central Asia. Take a trip to this unique land, and your heart will be impressed with beautiful mountain peaks touching the sky, cold lakes reflecting unlimited sky. In 6 days, you will travel from north to south, from city to city, from steppes to mountain passes. Here, as in any classical cultural tour, you will enjoy interesting excursions to sights and museums, though the magic of this trip is in its tranquility away from hectic life and traditional holiday. Take a pilgrimage to the mountains, and you will find peace that each of us is lacking today.
