TOUR
Fann Mountains: 15 Lakes
Iskanderkul, the Alauddin Lakes and the Valley of Seven Lakes. Four days of mountain scenery, clean air and local hospitality.
About This Tour
The Fann Mountains are known for their lakes: the water shifts colour through the day, from pale blue to deep indigo. This is one of the most scenic mountain regions in Tajikistan — and one of the most accessible: the route requires no special preparation.
Over four days you'll see three of the region's landmarks — Iskanderkul with its nearby waterfall, the Alauddin Lakes in the quiet of juniper forests, and the Valley of Seven Lakes. You'll stay in guesthouses and eco-camps, eat home-cooked meals, and travel with a guide throughout.
The tour can start from Dushanbe, Khujand or Panjakent — whichever suits you best.
