The smallest and least populated of the Central Asian Stans, Tajikistan is probably most famous for the Pamir Highway – the second highest highway in the world which traverses some of the most beautiful and sparsely populated areas of the world.

Tajikistan is also the outlier in Central Asia as their culture, language and traditions are Persian, thus providing a unique experience in the region.
