Looking for rates for non-profit work/2 occupants. Thanks

I've noticed that Pashtuns do have the Pulwar, the Iranians have the shamshir, and the Turkic people have a variety of their own sabers. However, I've never seen a weapon be denoted specifically to Tajiks.

Do we have our own thing or do the designs of others apply to us?

I was looking for a Tajik song, I don't remember the lyrics, but it was saying Dokhtari Qulabi

Hi everyone,

I am currently in Panjakent, and I would like to travel to Khujand tomorrow by shared taxi or minivan. Hotel reception told me that it would be 150 somoni for the shared taxi per seat, assuming it filled. I have not yet used these transportation methods yet, so I was curious into how long it takes to fill up? I would like to not pay much more than 150 if possible.

If anyone is also trying to go to Khujand tomorrow, hit me up ✌🏼

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I am visiting your wonderful country and am wondering if I am supposed to tip or not. Online reviews are mixed.

Also, if there is a service charge - then I especially don’t tip right?

Please can only actual Tajik people reply.

Do Tajikistani Tajiks also use the word "Kaut" when they mean green (zangor/sabz)?

Green Tea Samarqandi Tajiki: Choyi kaut ("blue tea") Afghan Farsi: Chāyi sabz ("green tea")

Hi, I watched Backpacker Ben's and Bald and Bankrupt's videos about your country and it really looks like one of the most beautiful in the world. But the thing that caught my eye was how many Opels are there, literally everywhere. Does anyone know the reason for this?

Hey guys, two friends and I went on a trip through Central Asia. Due to less than optimal time management we had to leave out Tajikistan, but we want to return sometime and do the Pamir highway, as well as Khujand and Dushanbe.

One thing that really enticed all of us, but that we couldn't find too much information on was the melon-shaped tea house in Hissor. Is it real??

When googling in English you only find this BBC article: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-34659053

I also tried googling in Russian but couldn't find anything. Unfortunately I don't speak Tajik, and even if I google translated my search, I don't think it would be very fruitful, soI figured this would be the easiest way to find out.

Is this tea house real? If so, where is it? I am infatuated with the idea of going there.

Edit: Is it this one? The satellite image doesn't look very melon-y... https://maps.app.goo.gl/HuFQoUNdsu8pscH29

Please help me with resource.

Hello,

We are a group of friends from Kosovo. We are planning to visit Dushanbe but we were wondering during which period of time are the tickets more cheap. Should we travel from Istanbul or any european city?

Appreciate your responses

Hey, I way thinking about visiting Vorukh for a few days, since I planned to see Khujand, and would be entering Tajikistan from Kokand. Saw some pictures and place looks amazing. You guys think there is any place to stay for a night there? Or eat? Is it accessible by foreigners first of all?

Calling all critical thinkers and those with special interests!

I have made it a mission of mine to be in every reddit sub for every nation on the earth (or at least the ones in english).

I am trying to gauge interest in any who wish to bring their passion and knowledge in a category to join a groupchat (on the dinosaur of a platform known as Facebook).

What im looking for and why:

My whole life ive been interested in different countries and cultures and the idea of having an 18+ groupchat in which many nations have a bit of representation its a dream come true. Id love to have people who are educated and capable of deep discussion about various topics.

Criteria

1. Have a special interest in any field politics, philosphy, history, heck even those proficient in film music or theatre.

2. You can take a joke. Its a fairly on task group chat however id say the only stuff that is censored as far as words go is any words pertaining to race or explicitly sexual material.

3. You are respectful of different religions. The group chat is very commonly excercising various different belief standpoints and jokes as long as they are in good taste are perfectly acceptable

What to expect:

1. Debates: these can range in a variety of topics from politics to history to science. And they can border on "heated" but at the end we are all just trying to learn and any oversteps will result in bans after a warning if course

2. Varied religious backgrounds id say the group is about 65% Christian 35% atheist but everyone in there is comfortable with sharing details about their religion free of ridicule aside from the lighthearted jokes. We have also recently added some others majority of which are Muslim.

3. The group right now is majorly american but there has been a fair bit of canadians that have joined and left over the three years the groupchat has been around. We recently got some members Azerbaijan, Bahrain, and Germany

4. Right now we have experts in the following categories

Cryptocurrency TV Shows and Pop culture Philosophy American Law World History Military History Video Game History Meteorology

The group is probably like 45% autistics with special interests so we pride ourselves on knowing our craft.

5. Each month I post news articles from every nation's internet news source in alphabetical order usually a letter a day. And we monitor and disccus the conflicts happening abroad

6. The group is 100% male which wasnt even by design thats just how its gone so far but there isnt a gender requirement one way or the other.

The donts:

No excessive meme spam. I tend to allow discussions with GIFS but depending on how many join the chat, theres no need for excessive memes

No posting sexual or graphic material some mems walk the line but never cross it.

No racial slurs

The creator of the GC is the final authority on everything

The point of the GC is to engage and have fun. If somebody is going a month without at least reading the posts then you shouldnt have joined in the first place silly! Inactives are often removed after one month.

Lets educate eachother! The goal is to increase comradery and learm about eachother cultures.

As of right now im wanting natives to whatever nation I post this in (as I intend to copy and paste) and depending on traction Im going to try and invite either the first people who respond or the most educated.

If you want to leave a rude comment or something about how you have better things to do go ahead! This is reddit after all!

But at least for the sake of being entertaining lets avoid repeats so far ive heard

Incelfest

Sausagefest

Pretentious

Arrogant

Red pills

Sounds like Hell

Remember we are looking for people who want to make friends and debate ideas not people who think themselves witty comedians.

Hello. I’m a US passport holder. I don’t require a visa for visits under 30 days, but I wanted to get an evisa for extra assurance (and to bypass the need for OVIR registration). My plan was to independently travel through the country and find local drivers once in the country for excursions away from the cities. However, the consulate is asking me for travel company letters to get my visa. Is there any way around this/way to word my independent travel plans carefully to bypass the need to pay for a company ahead of time? I’ve provided them with a detailed explanation itinerary of accommodations and routes in and out of the country by land in both English and Russian. Or should I just cancel the visa application and go forward with the visa free entry?

Hi all. I will likely be in Tajikistan this summer to visit a friend, and was considering adding some time to my trip to do some hiking in the mountains. The hiking looks quite complicated to an outsider, and I can't fully figure out how to pick a route, places to stay etc. Normally, I would always hike in a self-guided way. But for this trip, I would like - at a minimum - the help of a travel agent who could help construct an itinerary with places to stay/sleep. At a maximum with a guide.

I've emailed and Whatsapped various companies, but precisely zero have written back. I'm wondering if it is because I'm writing in English. In any case, do any of you know any travel agents or tour guides you could recommend? (or any challenging multi-day hiking routes you could recommend)

Thanks!

From what I understand, it needs to be done as follows 1) get shared taxi from Samarkand to the UZ - TJ border 2) cross on foot 3) get a shared taxi on TJ side
Has any one done it? how much will cost shared taxi from TJ border to Dushanbe ? or shall we go to Panjashkent and look for a long distance taxi to Dushanbe there

Hi all!

I’m excited to experience Tajikistan super soon. I am a US passport holder, so I do not require a visa for visits of up to 30 days. However, I have heard about the need to register with OVIR, with some reports saying for visits as long as 3 days and others saying for visits 10 days and longer. I’ll be in Tajikistan for about a week. Will I need to register, or am I okay? And if I do need to register, would it potentially be better to just get the evisa? I just want to clarify so I can spend more time exploring and less time dealing with logistical things. Thanks!
