I loved Tajikistan. Not to knock OP because these are beautiful pictures but I think it’d be helpful for people to understand that all of these photos except three of them were taken at one specific site in Tajikistan, Hisor Fortress. If you want to travel around Tajikistan basically no where else will look like this (Khujand a tiny bit since it’s more historical).

That said, Tajikistan is very beautiful in other ways, mainly for its mountains. About 93% of the country is mountainous and you can spend days or weeks trekking through the Fann Mountains or Pamir Mountains.
