More info about Mountain Climbing in Tajikistan:

Tajikistan is defined by its mountains, with many sub-ranges in the Pamir Mountains stretching across its landscape. Because of this rugged terrain, mountain climbing and trekking have both become popular sports. The relatively low population encourages adventurers seeking an isolated experience to head to the breathtaking hills, valleys, and mountains of this elevated natural wonderland. The capital, Dushanbe, is located in the western part of the country. The Fergana Valley to the north and the Kofarnihon Valley, above which Dushanbe is located, are the only two major geographical areas within the entire country that sit below 3,000 meters. Migratory birds make frequent stops at the glacial lakes that dot the countryside, an added bonus for nature lovers embarking on a climbing journey
