Travel tips for Tajikistan

  • 1

    Always carry cash (Somoni) as ATMs are scarce outside major cities like Dushanbe.

  • 2

    Dress modestly when visiting rural areas or religious sites to respect local customs.

  • 3

    Learn a few phrases in Tajik or Russian, as English is rarely spoken outside tourist hubs.
