1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The wonderful tour guide/driver Altynbek of Pamir Central Asia, the Kyrgiz company delivering the tour.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Do have a bath in the hot pools of Garm Chasma together with a whole lot of Tajik women (or men): a wonderful cross-cultural experience.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes to benefiting local people. I doubt about reducing environmental impacts or supporting conversation.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Wonderful! Probably also due to the fact there were only 3 in our group which meant we could easily adapt and change the itinerary when we wanted.John Hale review 23 Jul 2025
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Riding the parallel road in Tajikistan with Afghanistan.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Apply for your Tajikstan e-visa at least a month in advance! Too many in the group had difficulties getting their e-visa. Double check the itinieary for dates, we had a mistake in ours which could have impacted the flight booking. Pack for all temperatures, we varied from 3c to 47c.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Not sure.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
I enjoyed it but was fraught with admin issues. There poor and out of date information in the itinerary, which meant we did not get the accomodation promised (e.g sharing rooms when we were told single rooms available). The local guides were great and very hard working to ensure we had the best time, which I am very appreciative. The itinerary needs a serious review and proper update. There were issues that could easily been avoided with attention to detail by the UK team.Jacqui Licht review 25 Sep 2019

High altitude is a given. It's better to rise gradually, so the direction Dushanbe to Bishkek might be easier.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Absolutely. We visited local restaurants and stayed with local people.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Really enjoyed it. Altynbek was super nice and accommodating and full of knowledge.Holiday Reviews
