The first thing you should know about travelling in Central Asia is that most areas, specifically towns and cities are more relaxed in their attitude to Islam than their neighbours to the south of Afghanistan and Pakistan. However, it should also be remembered that it is technically an Muslim region and an extra dose of caution is required at certain locations. Long shorts and T-shirts are suitable for men and women in the cities, but when visiting mosques that are active, everybody should wear trousers that are below the knee and tops that cover shoulders. Women should also wear their headscarf. Throughout this tour we are traveling in remote locations seldom frequented by tourists. Locals are extremely modest in their dress and thus you’re likely to feel more relaxed in a conservative dress code too.
Language & Religion
Tajik is the official language spoken in Tajikistan. Russian is still routinely used to conduct business and for communication.
The majority of the people follow Sunni Islam, with the small minority being followers of Russian Orthodox, Catholicism, Buddhism and Judaism.
Food and beverages
The food on the tour tends heavily on soups, meat and potatoes. In more remote and higher altitude areas vegetables can be difficult to come by. But, there is a wide selection of dried fruits and nuts that you can enjoy.
In terms of alcohol, the options are generally limited to vodka and beer. Anyone looking for something else – Scotch or Gin for example – should purchase it duty-free and bring it out. Mixer drinks like tonic water can be difficult to come across, but.
