What awaits tourists in Tajikistan? They will be able to climb the Roof of the World, swim in Lake Iskanderkul, get acquainted with Tajik cuisine, admire the architectural composition of the palaces and temples of Penjikent, stroll through the city parks and alpine meadows of the Pamirs, plunge into the world of Asian shopping, experience extreme hang gliding, mountaineering), as well as see the waterfalls of Tajikistan and appreciate their beauty (the country has dozens of large and small waterfalls, some of which are even artificially created).
Guzgarf
The 30-meter high Guzgarf originates in the gorge of the Varzob River. It is worth planning a visit to the waterfall in April-May, when lush tall grass spikes in the mountains, and wild tulips and rose hips begin to bloom. But, despite this, even in the summer months, do not miss the opportunity to organize a hike to Guzgarf to see how in 1 second its stream brings down several tons of water.
Sari Khosor
It is a beautiful water cascade (it originates in the upper reaches of the Vakhsh River, at an altitude of 1500 m above sea level), which falls from a 50-meter height, scattering at the same time into millions of splashes and forming a rainbow. It is worth noting that tourism is actively developing in this area - entertainment and recreation facilities are being built, as well as a rehabilitation center.
Fan Niagara
The 43-meter waterfall, located in a narrow gorge, is formed by the Iskanderdarya River. You can only get to the Fan Niagara from the top, and under the waterfall you can find a metal observation deck.
Since Lake Iskanderkul is located nearby, travelers often combine visits to these two attractions in one trip, in order to see, in addition to water cascades, a historical monument in the form of an inscription “Ruskie, 1870” carved into a limestone rock (it was left by members of the first expedition led by Alexei Fedchenko). located on the shore of the lake. Here, those who wish can pitch tents or stay at a tourist base (the necessary infrastructure for recreation has been created here).
