Khujand proves that Tajikistan’s allure is not just limited to mountains and lakes. Situated in the country’s northern panhandle near the jigsaw border with Uzbekistan, Khujand is dwarfed only by Dushanbe in population and is cloaked in an old-world charm exuding from its Silk Road ruins, surrounding mountain terrain and delightfully chaotic bazaar that epitomizes the classic Central Asia shopping experience.
The Khujand Day Tour is an optimal way to experience border-town, historical Tajikistan during your Uzbekistan travels. From the launching point of Tashkent, you’ll be escorted to the Tajikistan border and met upon crossing for a guided tour of Khujand, a city dotted with relics of bygone eras and home to the country’s most colorful, memorable bazaar. This full-day tour includes transportation, lunch in Khujand and a private guide for your entire time in Tajikistan.
