The first thing to say about traveling in Central Asia is that most regions, including the towns and cities, are much more relaxed approach to Islam than their neighbors to the south in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is an Muslim area so it is important to be cautious when visiting certain areas. Long shorts and T-shirts can be worn by both genders in the city, but should you visit any mosques with active worshippers, all visitors should wear pants that do not go below the knee and tops that cover shoulders. A headscarf is also suggested for women. Throughout this tour we are travelling in quite remote areas not often visited by tourists. The locals are modest when it comes to dressing, therefore it is probable that you’ll be more at ease in conservative attire.
Language and Religion
Tajik is the official language spoken in Tajikistan. Russian is used regularly for communication and business.
A majority of people follow Sunni Islam. A small portion of the population are followers of Russian Orthodox, Catholicism and Buddhism.
Food and drinks
The tour is focused on soups and meats. In more distant and higher altitude regions, vegetables can be hard to come by. There are plenty of dried fruit and nuts to taste.
For alcohol, the 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. It can be difficult to locate mixer drinks such as tonic water.
