One thing to remember about traveling through Central Asia is that most regions, including towns and cities are more laid back in their approach to Islam than their neighbors to the south in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it is important to be noted that it is technically a Muslim area, so a little bit of caution should be applied in certain areas. T-shirts and shorts that are long can be worn by both genders in cities, however when visiting mosques that are active, all visitors should wear pants which are shorter than the knee and tops that cover shoulders. The use of a head scarf is advised for females. The tour takes us to remote places that are not typically frequented by tourists. The people of the area are modest in their attire and so you are likely to feel more relaxed wearing quite conservative clothing too.
Language and Religion
Tajik is the official language of Tajikistan. Russian is still widely used for business and communication.
The majority of people are followers of Sunni Islam. A small percentage of people follow the religions of Russian Orthodox, Catholicism and Buddhism.
Food and beverages
The tour is focused on soups and other meats. It can be difficult to locate in remote areas or at higher elevations. There is an abundance of dried fruits and nuts available to try though.
For alcohol, the choice is generally limited to vodka and beer. Anyone looking for something different – Scotch or Gin for example – should buy it duty free and take it home. Mixer drinks such as tonic water can be difficult to come across, but.
