About the Event

The Tajik Mountain Traverse is a true explorer's journey, offering a rare and profound adventure far from the well-trodden path.

About Dushanbe

Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, is a beautiful city of stark contrasts between the old and the new. Old Soviet-era buildings stand adjacent to new massive state buildings and monuments, and there always seems to be a tension between the demolition of the old and the construction of the new. Even with its massive buildings and endless construction, Dushanbe remains the quaintest of the Central Asian capitals.
