Tajikistan is the smallest country in Central Asia and yet it is still almost five times the size of Belgium.
It is known for being the land of the high Pamir Mountains. Around half of its land lies at 3000 meters above sea level or more. But don’t worry if you cannot travel for a couple of weeks at high altitude. You can still enjoy nature at its beautiful best in places like the Fann Mountains.
In fact, the altitude in Tajikistan varies from 300 to 7495 meters above sea level and offers various opportunities to tour the country.
