A flagpole once among the tallest in the world flying over a capital of Soviet-era boulevards, the Pamir Highway climbing from here into some of the most remote mountain country on earth, and a hospitality culture that treats a stranger as a guest first and a stranger second.
The best time to visit Dushanbe & the Pamirs is Jun–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 35°C (95°F).
