TajikistanI have been active in tourism since I was 14 years old: hiking trails all year round, cycling. 5, actually 7 years. Since then, I have traveled around the world quite a lot. The most a lot. I have something to compare it to, I like to think about how I spend my free time. And one of my favorite hobbies is hiking. So, Tajikistan. It would seem that there this small country is not well-represented in world tourism. Maybe it is because there are few tourists?No, it's not like that at all. Tajikistan is a developed country, which is reflected in the high tourist and budget tourism. In fact, we are talking about a real country with managed tourism and budget trips.

The main goal was to make a video and send it to friends, and the cafe owner would reply with a question. How to get to the Haskal Valley ? We have already driven the 5-6 km from Mira. The highway is not visible on the map. Turn onto Mulla Bay, the last 300 meters. We went this way: the road is paved, there is a hotel on the way. The road itself is not difficult to find, it is just that there is a trail that is marked. It is better to start the journey at 8 am and go to the valley at 10 am. There is a restaurant nearby, but we didn't want to go there. We went for a walk and breakfast. The trail is signified 7 km from the Mira checkpoint. Ahead is the highway, the road disappears into the jungle, the sign disappears, and in the distance there is the Haskal Valley. We were surprised that the road is paved in places and it was our turn to
