| Page Views: 2,629 Last Visit to Dushanbe: July, 2006 | Hub to the Pamirs by Trekki - last update: Aug 8, 2007 |
| The only reason I came here - take the flight :-) |
Update, August 9, 2007:
I have added a website with more restaurants in Dushanbe, which have English menus.
Please make sure you read my travellogue My Dushanbe adventure as well.
Only then you will be able to see this all in the context.
Thanks :-)Dushanbe was just a short stopover for me, between Uzbek cities and the Pamir mountains. I am surely (negatively) biased from my experiences with ….. the place I stayed and all that had to do with it, so I didn’t do much in the city itself.
And please do not misinterpret my experience here ! It had NOTHING to do with Tajiks or local people - just with one very arrogant very impudent rip-off etablissement, which is not Tajik !!!!
So I won’t write much about things-to-do, more of my “stay” there and the possibilities to get away = fly to Khorog, capital village of the Pamirs.
There is however a lot to see in Dushanbe.
But you best check what Olav (VT-er Saagar) and Steven (VT-er srichmond) wrote about the city. |
All pictures have been taken by myself, if not marked otherwise.
Please do not use any of them without my permission.
The same applies for my writings here.
Thanks.

It's quite a shame how people can be allowed to operate a business that can ruin first impressions of a country. Luckily, many like yourself can look past one bad apple tree and find nice fruit elsewhere. | Nemorino Tue Feb 26, 2008 11:23 UTC
Danone yoghurt in the country of natural yoghurt -- that pretty much sums it up. (Like being served frozen fish sticks in a traditional fishing village.) | travelfrosch Thu Jan 17, 2008 01:25 UTC
I have driven the "Road to Dushanbe" (as made famous by the movie "Spies Like Us"), but never actually made it there. Thanks for the wonderful narrative, even if "Mr. Rick" was not the high point of your visit... :-) Cheers, "MArk" ;-) | scottishvisitor Sat Aug 25, 2007 22:23 UTC
