About this experience
I provide a full-day private driving tour to see the beautiful Seven Lakes in the Fann Mountains of Tajikistan. The first six lakes are accessible by car, and tourists will be able to see local villages along the way. The seventh lake is accessible by a short hike and is a great place to have a picnic at midday. After visiting the Seven Lakes, we will return to Panjakent to visit the local bazaar, the city center, and the ruins of the ancient settlement Sarazm. This tour provides a fun and interesting day seeing some of the best sites Tajikistan has to offer, from the incredible mountain views of the Seven Lakes to the daily life in a small Tajik city to the ancient Silk Road history of this incredible part of the world.
