The mountains are enormous, roads are slow, and some of the places you will want to visit are separated by full days of driving. That said, 10 days in Tajikistan is enough to put together an…

You can spend days bouncing between Silk Road cities and mountain villages in the north, then suddenly find yourself following the Panj River with Afghanistan on the opposite bank. A few days later, you’re crossing empty…
