There aren’t any mandatory vaccinations required for visitors to Tajikistan although you must be up-to-date with Typhoid, Tetanus, Polio and Hepatitis A. Malaria is found in a few areas of Tajikistan therefore we suggest you consult your local doctor or travel centre as to the appropriate immunisations and preventative treatments.

It is first crucial to be aware that Central Asia has a more open-minded approach towards Islam than its neighbors in Pakistan and Afghanistan. It is a Muslim region, so it’s vital to be vigilant in specific regions. Although both women and men can wear T-shirts and shorts in cities, they should not wear long sleeves or T-shirts. However, anyone visiting the mosques that are active should wear pants that are below the knees and wear tops that cover shoulders. Women must also wear a headscarf. The trip takes us to remote places that are not often frequented by tourists. The locals wear modest clothing, so it is likely that you’ll feel at ease wearing conservative clothes.
Language and Religion
Tajikistan’s official language is Tajik. Russian is still used regularly to conduct business and for communication.
A majority of the population follow Sunni Islam, with the small minority being followers of Russian Orthodox, Catholicism, Buddhism and Judaism.
Drinks and food
The food served on this tour tends to focus mainly on soups, meat and potatoes. In remote and higher altitude areas vegetables are difficult to find. There are plenty of dried nuts and dried fruits for you to try.
For alcohol, options are typically limited to vodka or beer, so those looking for something different , like Scotch or Gin for instance – needs to purchase it duty free and take it home. Mixer drinks like tonic water can be extremely difficult to come by, even.
