Perhaps because few people sign up for group tours, I joined a private customized tour this time. It wasn't cheap. Most of the two-day tour was spent on the road. It started and ended in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, not in Tajikistan. The two major attractions I saw over those two days were quite nice. The overnight hotel was in town, far from the attractions, so there was no chance to watch the sunrise or sunset by the lake. I changed my itinerary midway, not returning to Samarkand, but going directly to Dushanbe. The tour guide helped me find a shared taxi. Shared taxis only accept cash. Driving on the mountain roads was hard on the driver. The tour guide was very responsible. This two-person team, along with the driver who picked me up at the Samarkand hotel, were not employees of the travel agency. Therefore, they sometimes needed to communicate and coordinate.
Breath-taking scenery, really helpful guide, very well organised. Lovely hotel. Highly recommend this tour. James, Ireland.
Great 2-days and excellent organization. Pick-ups from hotel were on time. Driver will take you to frontier & you get picked up on the other side. Excellent response time from agent to any questions I had. Day1 was 7 Lakes - a very nice day - take a pique-nique. Day2 Iskender Lake is further away but well worth the visit if you have 2 days. Know that you will have some bumpy ‘roads’ 😉 Tajikistan is mostly mountains offering beautiful scenery - Recommend DiscoveryStan for their professionalism
The trip was totally worth it. The organiser was good. Both guide and driver were very friendly and helpful. The 4x4 car was very comfortable. Altogether it was a private tour. About the places visited, it was damn beautiful. Especially seven lakhs, a must in my opinion! Iskandarkul was a stretch, if you got time. But one thing I can guarantee the way to iskandarkul is damn beautiful! About the price, for 1 person the prices justifies. But say you are 2 or 3 ppl together, it is way too expensive! At this price if they include Dushande with another day, it would be very perfect. Ideal price should per group. Unfortunately, there is not much option available for the 2day trip to Tajikistan. Hence this is the only best option if you are looking for a 2 day tours.
Thank you so much for your feedback! 🙏 We’re very happy you enjoyed the trip and the beauty of Seven Lakes and Iskandarkul. This tour is arranged as a private experience, only for you and your friends, which is why we provide comfortable 4×4 cars — it makes the journey smooth but also affects the price. We have tried offering group tours, but since Tajikistan is still a small and less–touristy country, it’s not easy to gather enough people for fixed group departures. Still, we’re always looking for ways to improve and appreciate your suggestions.
Both Lake Iskandar and the Seven Lakes were beautiful enough to disappoint. The road to get there was also a series of spectacular views. Thanks to the fine weather and the attentive drivers.
ありがとうございま す! We are glad you enjoyed the stunning landscapes and had a comfortable journey. Hope to see you again!
It was a great trip to see parts of Tajikistan if you are short on time. The company make sure the hand over from the Uzbekistan border to the Tajikistan border is as seamless as possible. My guide Afred is very kind and accommodating. He is a safe driver on the sometimes bumpy mountain roads. Overall I am very satisfied.
