Escape Dushanbe for a full-day private trip to Iskanderkul, a turquoise alpine lake at about 2,200 m in the Fann Mountains, named after Alexander the Great.
Your English- or Russian-speaking guide and a driver pick you up from your hotel and take you north through the Varzob Gorge and along a winding mountain highway, with a photo stop at a panoramic viewpoint before the Anzob Tunnel.
At the lake you have about 4 hours to explore: walk the shoreline, see the 40-meter waterfall known as the "Niagara of the Fann Mountains," visit Snake Lake, the Five Springs and the Cave of Bucephalus, linked to legends of Alexander's famous horse. Lunch is available at a lakeside cafe (at your own cost).
Because the tour is private, you set the pace and can stop for photos along the way. Ideal for nature lovers and photographers who want to see Tajikistan's mountains in one day without arranging transport.
In winter, the tour may be rescheduled or postponed until roads are safe for travelers.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
