However, having a basic understanding of Russian phrases or using translation apps can make your journey smoother. In rural areas, the language barrier might be more noticeable, so hiring a local guide could be helpful.

The Panji Poyon border (Sher Khan Bandar in Afghanistan) is currently the only open crossing. Safety can vary depending on the region in Afghanistan, so it’s crucial to stay updated on the latest travel advisories and consult local guides. For those with limited time, you might consider focusing on cities like Mazar-i-Sharif or Kunduz, which are accessible from northern Tajikistan.

To truly experience the country, you’ll need at least 20 days. This will allow you to visit both the popular destinations like Dushanbe, the Pamir Highway, and the Fann Mountains, as well as more off-the-beaten-path locations.

Afghan visas are still issued in Tajikistan. However, keep in mind that only the Panji Poyon border crossing between the two countries is currently open.
