The first thing you should know about travel in Central Asia is that most regions, including the towns and cities are more laid back in their approach to Islam than their neighbours to the south of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Central Asia is a Muslim zone, therefore it is important to be cautious in specific regions. Both women and men are allowed to wear shorts and T-shirts in cities, they should not be wearing T-shirts or sleeves that are long. Anyone who visits places of worship should wear pants that do not go below the knees as well as tops that cover the shoulders. Ladies should also wear an asymmetrical head scarf. The tour takes us to remote places that are not usually frequented by tourists. The locals tend to dress modestly, so it is likely that you’ll feel more comfortable in conservative clothing.
Language and Religion
Tajik is the official language spoken in Tajikistan. Russian is still used routinely to communicate and for business.
The majority of people follow Sunni Islam, with the minority of people who adhere to Russian Orthodox, Catholicism, Buddhism and Judaism.
Food and drinks
The tour is focused on soups and other meats. It can be difficult to get in remote areas and at higher altitudes. There are plenty of dried fruits and nuts available to sample.
The options for alcohol are limited to beer or vodka. If you want to try other drinks – like Scotch or Gin – should purchase the alcohol duty-free and bring it along. Mixer drinks such as tonic water aren’t easy to locate, however.
