  Zeer goede gids voor Tajikistan en betrouwbaar alternatief voor de Lonely Planet. Zo mogelijk nog completer! Soberder uitgevoerd, maar zeker voor de minder bekende plaatsen een aanrader. Vol met praktische informatie over hoe, waar en wanneer te reizen.

  Tajikistan is Central Asia's smallest and least understood country. Epic mountain landscapes, glacial lakes and the mighty Oxus River encircle ancient Buddhist sites, Silk Road trading posts, medieval shrines and planned Soviet cities. The guide includes tried and tested trekking routes in the Fann, Zerafshan and Pamir mountain ranges for various levels of experience. Comprehensive bird-watching and wildlife sections are provided by BBC journalist Ben Tavener. Rich historical detail and entertaining anecdotes are drawn from the historical archives of the Royal Society for Asian Affairs and with first-hand descriptions of everything from Soghdian ruins to playing the traditional sport of buz kashi or 'dead goat polo', Tajikistan's authors bring the country alive.

  The map "The Pamirs" was done in several years work by the swiss cartographer Markus Hauser for the UNESCO projekt "Cultural and Eco-tourism in the Mountainous Regions of Central Asia and in the Himalaya". In Tajikistan the Projekt is implemented by the french NGO ACTED.

  Tajikistan is a land of majestic peaks, glaciers, and high mountain deserts. The country with its rich cultural heritage and diverse landscapes is still waiting to be discovered. Tourism is hardly developed – and thus, many a mystery remains to be uncovered by those willing to venture into the country. The Pamirs, the mountain range covering the Eastern part of Tajikistan - administratively known as ‘Gorno Badakhshan’ since Soviet times – are particularly remote and have had a special status due to their geographic location. Simultaneously, they are amongst the pearls in the crown of the world’s high mountain ranges.

  This map represents a key to the discovery of that mythical region. It’ll help you to trace your way along the historical paths of the high Silk Road, the deep cut valleys of the west and the vast plains of the high plateau of the Eastern part of the region. It’ll equip you with relevant travel information for a unique experience of breathtaking landscapes and of diverse cultures united by the celebration of hospitality.
