Fantastic Day Trip with Azizbek & Essential Border Crossing Tip
My guide, Azizbek, was exceptional! He was very kind, accommodating with schedule changes, and had a deep knowledge of history that gave me so many great perspectives. The restaurant he chose for lunch was fantastic, too.
Highly recommended if you are looking for a wonderful day trip to Khujand, Tajikistan from Uzbekistan!
[Important tip for border crossing]
To cross the border from Uzbekistan to Tajikistan, you definitely need the hotel registration slip (shown in the second photo). Without it, you will likely get held up at border control. Make sure you have it with you!
Wonderful Daytrip to Khujand
The day trip was super planned from start to finish. You will be picked up from the hotel by a guide who speaks super English. At the border the car is parked and the guide walks with you across the border. On the other side, a new car with a driver is waiting. The guide is with you all the time and gives you explanations. We felt very safe and comfortable. They were exciting impressions. The mosque at the fortress was particularly beautiful. There are also traditional houses of native , which you can visit. There the locals show you their lives. How they cook, play music or pursue craftsmanship. You get a lot of the culture on this day trip. Also the bazaar was very interesting.
It was a 10/10
