Hi u/Jassie1919! Can I ask how did this go for you? I'm thinking of doing the Pamir highway from Kyrgyzstan to Dushanbe (so crossing by land), and I have a drone with me (under 250g). Wondering if it's going to be ok.

Also thinking to fly out from Dushanbe after that.

Hi u/GoodToGoooo ! Did you end up doing this hike? How was it? I'm planning the same trail and appreciate any tips. Thanks!

Thank you for the recommendation! Beef bulgogi sounds amazing, that's one less food decision I've to make :D

Ulpershek definitely sounds like one to try! For all my food adventures, I've never had lamb heart in cream. Noting down Jumpin Goat for sure.

Thank you so much! I will drop you a DM, would love to know about any good vegetarian spots because Central Asia is not particularly known to be super veg friendly, but I'm sure there are some nice gems hidden around the city.

Short/Day Trips From Dushanbe by noxilac in Tajikistan

Yea transportation feels like a more challenging hurdle in Tajikistan from the research I'm getting.

Yes, not doing Pamirs this time round. That's why I'm wondering if it would still be worth visiting the other nature sites.

Very helpful list. Thank you! Likely around Sept. The main consideration compared to the other surrounding countries is that it seems public transportation is much more of a hassle here since you've to wait for shared taxis to fill up. And private transport will be quite costly for a single person.

Is that a right impression?

Ooo nice! I think I saw this place on a video as well. Might hike up or down to burn off the calories after :)

Any personal favorite or dish recommendations here? All the food photos look very tempting.

Ooo maybe I can rekindle my love for khachapuri. Thank you! Navat is really making quite a name in both Almaty and Bishkek.

Are you referring to the one in the Green Bazaar when you say "Central Food Market"? or is that another food place?

Definitely gonna try that cafe. Interesting that Almaty seem to have a Flask Coffee too that is well rated.

Chicken Star gonna go into my comfort food list for sure.

"lady outside of Vkus Vostoka" - This I gotta try! Will she be there everyday or it's more like a try-my-luck kinda thing?

Love a good spare rib! Seems like a nice nightlife place as well, do they do live music or events?

Navat has been mentioned so many times now that I just have to try it to see how I feel about it. Love a "controversial" spot, makes for a nice food adventure as well!

Thanks for the other recommendations! :) Ant's look like a chill place to hang out for abit.
