Welcome to Tajikistan
Tajikistan is a landlocked country Central Asian state with high tourist attraction and constant education improvements. Most of Tajikistan’s population belongs to the Persian-speaking Tajik ethnic group, who share language, culture, and history with Persian-speaking countries. Once part of the Samanid Empire, Tajikistan became a constituent republic of the Soviet Union in the 20th century, known as the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic (Tajik SSR). Many tourists are mainly attracted by the exotic of this country, its customs, and traditions which have been preserved untouched in its secluded corners since ancient times. If you go up in the mountains you will have a chance to find really small villages where live unique nationalities – the descendants of Alexander the Great who conquered this territory. In this way, you’ll be able to experience a spirit of antiquity and ancient history. The Pamir, the Tien Shan, and Fan Mountains are regarded as “resorts” of Tajikistan. There is a lot to see there indeed: snowy mountain caps on the background of dazzling blue sky, green fertile valleys with blooming gardens, rough mountain streams bubbling with white foam in narrow gorges. In Tajikistan, there are many historical cities and monuments. Tajik cuisine is famous worldwide! Moreover, there you will be treated with the most delicious fruit and vegetables grown not in artificial hothouses but in natural fertile Tajik soil – juicy and sweet as honey. Hospitable Tajik people never say goodbye to their guests without treating them with some gifts. You will take home with you not only bright impressions but also loads of hand-crafted souvenirs from ceramics, wood, glass, fabrics. Local craftsmen have kept the secrets of their arts for many generations.
