Local Tips
Cash is preferred, bring enough Tajik somoni, as ATMs can be scarce. Basic Russian or Tajik phrases will be helpful, as English is rarely spoken.

Visit the early-morning bazaar for fresh produce and crafts, enjoy walking in the surrounding orchards, or join a local for traditional tea at a chaikhana (tea house).
