Things to Do in Dushanbe
Starting points for your perfect trip
Hissar Fortress Day Trip
Drive about thirty minutes west to Hisor Fortress, a Silk Road stronghold fought over for some three thousand years. Its twin-towered gatehouse is an 18th-century reconstruction, set beside a restored madrasa, a caravanserai, and a small museum.
Mehrgon Bazaar
Wander Dushanbe's main market, where vendors sell mountains of dried fruit and nuts, fresh non bread from tandoor ovens, spices, and household goods. It is the place to stock up on supplies before heading into the mountains.
Varzob Valley
Head north into the Hissar Range along the Varzob, a glacier-fed river valley of riverside chaikhanas, swimming spots, and the 30-meter Gusgarf Waterfall. It is Dushanbe's favorite weekend escape from the summer heat.
National Museum of Antiquities
See the original 13-meter reclining Buddha, excavated from Ajina-Tepa in the Vakhsh valley and the largest Buddha statue in Central Asia, alongside Greco-Bactrian, Sogdian, and Kushan-era finds in Dushanbe's archaeology museum.
