In the Soviet era (note than many people in Tajikistan citizens miss that time), Tajikistan was one of the main sources of uranium for the Soviet nuclear program. The city of Saryn in the northern parts of the Khojand area was the source of uranium mined for the first Soviet nuclear bomb (separate tip coming soon!). You will find uranium mines here and there nowadays, too, but I do not think any of them are open for mining for the time being. The worst sites in terms of pollution and radiation have been sealed. If you travel upr the side valley north from Takob, the road takes you right next to a uranium mausoleum, a huge concrete construction topping a sandy hill. This "atomic Tajikistan" is not only an historical event to keep in mind, but very much an ongoing environmental and health disaster. Leave a Comment

The Hissor Fortress, 10 km west of Dushanbe, is the most historical attraction in Tajikistan and is the symbol of the ancient Tajik nation, a local museum displays ceramics, jewelry and clothing from Tajik's past glory.
You can count half day for this visit. Address: 10 kms west of Dushanbe

The most interesting in this museum located in the center of town close to Rudaki (on the other side of Opera Ballet square) is the laying Buddha. It seems to be one of the biggest remaining Buddha in the world!
Many other nice archeological pieces can be seen in the museum. Address: DushanbeDirections: Close to Opera Ballet Square

The Fan Mountains is acknowledged to be among the most beautiful in the world. It is a eas-west range in west-central Tajikistan, with the main massif in the west. For international travellers the best is possibly to cross in over the Uzbek border from the west; it is a long haul from Dushanbe. Either way you get there, the approach will be interesting.
The high Fan massif consists of high peaks (Chimtarga at 5489 meters the tallest], snow capped and with small glaciers hanging about, and a maze of valleys carving up the massif, making it a fairly easy laid-out area for trekking and mountaineering. In terms of objective dangers, the main onwe would probably be altitude sickness due to the high passes, rock slides and in the wrong season hypothermia. If you aim to go there, do come preapared before entering Tajikistan. Leave a Comment

Welcome to Tajikistan!
Tajikistan is a place where you can study culture and traditions in reality.The best way of getting know people is-visiting them.
In order to understand Tajik culture it is necessary to look back to the time of Transoxiana, (an area that lies between the Amu Darya and Sir Darya rivers and modern north-west Afghanistan), and the centres of civilization of the Nile, Mesopotamia and the banks of the Yangtze. The Tajiks' ancestors were from Scythian proto-Indo-European tribes who were nomads of the Eurasian steppes and were among the first to settle in Central Asia about 4000 years ago.The Culture of Tajikistan has developed over several thousand years.
Modern Tajik literature and its history is wound up with the standardisation of the Tajik language. Tajik literary centres include the cities of Bukhara and Samarkand, currently in present day Uzbekistan.Tajik's literature and culture is very rich.
Tajik holidays are very amazing and interesting and one can easely get in to them

Tajikistan's biggest annual celebration is the spring festival of Navruz, literally "New Day". Navruz marks the beginning of the Persian New Year, which starts at the spring equinox. (The exact date of the celebration depends on the timing of the equinox). The roots of the festival are Zoroastrian - the fire-worshipping religion that the Persians followed before they converted to Islam.
Abdullah Jafar Ibn Mohammad Rudaki is considered a founder of Persian classical literature.
He was born in Rudak, a village in Transoxiana, 870 in what is now Panjakent in Tajikistan. . He was the court poet to the Samanid ruler Nasr II (914-943) in Bukhara, but he eventually fell out of favour and ended his life in poverty.
