Tajikistan

The Pamir, known as the "roof of the world", offers some of Central Asia most remote and spectacular mountain routes. Atlas Lume suggests reading Tajikistan through its landscapes, neighbourhoods, transport and living culture, with the context needed to plan with judgement rather than collect places.

Dusambé works as a practical reference point, but every route should adapt to distances and season. The main language is Tajik, the currency is Somoni tayiko and the generally recommended time to go is June to September.
