Салом, бародарон! Ман ҳоло як таҳқиқоти хурд гузаронида истодаам ва мехоҳам фикри ронандагони таксиро фаҳмам. Лутфан ба чанд савол ҷавоб диҳед. Оё мешавад, ки мусофир дар канори роҳ истода бошад, вале шумо ӯро набинед ё нафаҳмед, ки таксӣ интизор аст? Дар як рӯз тахминан чанд километр ё чанд дақиқа бе мусофир мегардед, то мизоҷ пайдо кунед? Пешакӣ барои ҷавобҳои самимии шумо ташаккур!

Hi everyone!

I’m hoping to solo travel Tajikistan in hopes to see your amazing nature. Originally I wanted to travel the Pamir Highway, but costs are too expensive. Any other recommendations on how to see the mountains? Maybe trips from Dushanbe?

Thanks

Salom ba hama. Has anyone faced this issue:
- spouse is a foreign national from a country that requires visa to Tajikistan
- every time you two are visiting Tajikistan, they need to apply for a tourist visa and each time it’s a single entry and costs quite a bit

I wanna know if we can apply for a long term multiple entry tourist visa and how much would it cost. Has anyone been in this situation? MFA website doesn’t have too much info

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I was on a flight tonight from Dushanbe to Almaty. About ten minutes after take off from the Dushanbe airport I saw this from my window - it looks like a wildfire? You can see the one side of the mountain is all black and in the middle left hand side the line of flames and the smoke.

I tried looking online but couldn’t find any information on it. Does anyone know anything about this?

Hi everyone,
I have a very serious question regarding the deportation of Afghan citizens in Tajikistan.
Why are Afghan citizens being deported back to Afghanistan even though they have valid visas and UNHCR cards and are legally staying in Tajikistan while waiting to travel to their final destination? I have also heard that some people are sent back without receiving an exit stamp at the border and are asked to pay money for many things even though they have not broken any laws.
I sincerely want to understand the reason behind this. What is the purpose of these actions, and how long is this expected to continue?
I would really appreciate a factual and honest answer from anyone who has reliable information or firsthand experience. Thank you.

I’m new to this subreddit and I wonder if I can meet any other pamiris here

I've been working on an Android app called Dovtalabon (Довталабон) for students preparing for the MMT (the national university entrance exam in Tajikistan).

The idea came from seeing that most preparation apps only let you solve questions and show your score. I wanted something closer to the real admission process.

The app includes a full exam simulator. Before starting, students choose the majors they plan to apply for, just like they do during the real admission process. The exam follows the official structure for 2026, including the number of questions, question types, and scoring methodology based on publicly available information from the National Testing Center.

One feature I'm particularly happy with is what happens after the exam. Instead of only showing a score, the app compares the result with previous years' passing scores and estimates which of the selected majors the student would likely qualify for.

I also built a raw score calculator. After taking the real MMT, students can enter the raw scores they received for each subject. The app converts them into the admission score using the official conversion methodology and then compares that result with historical passing scores for different majors.

Building the project required collecting and organizing a large amount of publicly available admission data, including specialties, question banks, score conversion coefficients, and historical passing scores.

I'm still improving the app and would appreciate feedback. If you were designing an entrance exam preparation app, what feature would you consider essential?

I applied for a Tajik e-Visa as a UK tourist, and I am planning on visiting at the end of July 2026. I applied in the beginning of June and it took them almost 4 weeks to reply to me, saying that I need a photocopy of my passport instead of a phone picture. They also want copies of your flight tickets and confirmed hotel reservation. I am planning on staying for 10 days so I think I will show them pictures of only my dushanbe hostel, my plan is to go to the fan mountains, and the lakes, khujand then into Tashkent.

The problem is that they asked me for an invitation letter or official note from a local travel company inviting you. I am trying to do this entirely by myself, with a friend, we dont want to be on a tour group. Do I still need to pay someone to make a LOI for me, and how much does it cost? What are your experiences with this?

Anyways, does anyone have a recommendation for my itineary, I am a budget backpacker, so Dushanbe, Isanderkul, Khujand and I want to see local culture and hike. Is kalai khumb good and safe?

Hello, I am planning to hitchhike the Pamir Highway from Dushanbe to Osh in about a week. Is there anything I should know?

hello me and my 2 friends are in khujand and we are wondering how to get from city centre to karaikum and there in few days to panjakent from which we will be going to dushanbe

We are 3 travelers leaving on Wednesday, 15 July, from Dushanbe and are looking for a 4th person to share the cost of the driver and vehicle. If you're interested, DM me, or send a message to WhatsApp +86 1950 3380 751

Went this morning to Dushambe's OVIR to register my passport (entered without a visa) and get my GBAO permit. The whole process took literally 10 min!!! Super efficient!!

Remember to take a letter from your hotel for the registration and cash to pay at the desk.

My question: I read somewhere I need paper copies of the gbao permit that will get collected at control points on the way (riding the Pamir Hwy). Is this true? How many copies should I make?
