Cheap Flights to Tajikistan
Tajikistan has a history of war and upheaval that left it wounded and struggling through the early 1990s. Today, Tajikistan is stable and safe, and is a scenically spectacular vacation destination. Take a road-trip like none other on the Pamir Highway. Breathtaking high-altitude lakes and an invitation into one of the community-based homestays will not only fulfill your yearning for nature, but will introduce you to the peoples of Tajikistan most profoundly. On the Pamir Plateau you can break fast with a Kyrgyz family, savoring the rich goodness of fresh yogurt and cream. From Samarkand, follow the Tajik shepherds to the Fan Mountains. Turquoise alpine lakes and the harsh scenery will garner your appreciation to the shepherds that trek this landscape every day of their lives. Iskander-Kul, a lake at the eastern end of the Fan Mountains, is a great place to relax or to go hiking. To really experience ancient Tajikistan, travel to Istaravshan. A small town that has managed to preserve its oldest sections for everyone's enjoyment, this historic stop will charm you with its traditional ancient architecture. You can visit Istaravshan on a day trip from Khojand, or as an overnight stop on your way to Dushanbe.

Getting to Tajikistan

Tajikistan has one international airport, Qurghonteppa International, located in Kurgan Tyube. Dushanbe is the capital of Tajikistan and also has an airport that services some international traffic. Only Ariana Afghan Airlines and Turkish Airlines have routes into Tajikistan, so making one or more connections is inevitable. The most popular route is the weekly flight between Istanbul and Dushanbe. It's a red-eye flight, but there are plenty of taxis to meet the flight and the fare is very affordable.
