Good afternoon. Maybe someone can suggest how to get to the mountains from Dushanbe — what options are there besides a taxi?
Buses and marshrutkas, but in any case the mountains are about 30 km from Dushanbe, so you’ll get tired walking before you even reach them!!!
Well, at least to get to the foothills of the mountains. Up to where? And what transport number?
Chorbog — the station for shared taxis in the north of Dushanbe. Trolleybus number 8 goes there. For 10 somoni per person they will take you to all the places near Dushanbe — Zimchurud, Guzgarf — just ask where the tourists go.
If you’re heading to the Varzob mountains, then go to Vodonasosnaya — that’s a district on the outskirts of Dushanbe — and from there there are marshrutkas with signs going toward Varzob.
Excellent, thank you.
