    Tour Details
    • Crooked CompassOperatorWritten April 2026

      Are you wondering if we also have tours in Tajikistan? If you are, we have either tours that will cover all 5 of the Stans countries, or we could do a private package for you in Tajikistan.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Crooked CompassOperatorWritten September 2022

      Thank you for your enquiry, my name is Sarah and I would be happy to assist. This tour looks amazing! I will get in touch with our partners in Pakistan to check that we have guides and hotel availability in April of next year for a private tour and will get back to you shortly. May I please confirm with you in the meantime- how many nights would you like to spend in Dushanbe at the start of your tour, and would you like for me to arrange some day tours for you to explore the city while you are there? We can also arrange the flight from Dushanbe to Kashgar on your chosen date, would you like for me to include a quote for this in the tour price?

      Christina

      TravelerWritten September 2022

      Actually we would like Tajikistan Kyrgyzstan as well on the way

    • Crooked CompassOperatorWritten September 2022

      Thank you for advising that you would like to include Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan as well. As this is very different to the program on offer, we would require further information from you. Where would you like to start and end and do you have a preference of order of the countries being visited? At present, due to political reasons, the border between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan is closed - you would need to go via Uzbekistan to cross between the two. We could look at something along the lines of: Dushanbe to Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan to Kyrgyzstan, Kyrgyzstan to China (borders pending), China to Pakistan and down to India. How does this sound to you? If this works, please advise how much time you would like in each country?
