Classic
Tajikistan Tour
An exciting eight
days Tajikistan classic tour will introduce you to the ancient Zoroastrian
monuments, fabulous cities of the Great Silk Road, incredibly beautiful lakes
and majestic Pamir. You will discover ancient cities of Khujand, Penjikent and
Istaravshan. You will see colorful lakes of Fan mountains, visit the bright and
noisy bazaars, museums and mosques, taste the cuisine in a very Tajik teahouse
(chayhana).

Tajikistan,
literally the "land of the Tajiks," has ancient cultural roots. The
people now known as the Tajiks are the Persian speakers of Central Asia, some
of whose ancestors inhabited Central Asia at the dawn of history. Despite the
long heritage of its indigenous peoples, Tajikistan has existed as a state only
since the Soviet Union decreed its existence in 1924.

Tajikistan
borders China to the east, Kyrgyzstan to the north, Uzbekistan to the West and
Afghanistan on its southern frontier. The 1999 population was estimated at six
million. Two-thirds of its people are ethnic Tajik, about a quarter are Uzbek
and other groups make up the rest. Russians, who numbered roughly half a
million a decade ago, fled the country en masse during the recent civil war.

Of the five
Central Asian states that declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1991,
Tajikistan is the smallest in area and the third largest in population.
Landlocked and mountainous, the republic has some valuable natural resources, such
as waterpower and minerals, but arable land is scarce, the industrial base is
narrow, and the communications and transportation infrastructures are poorly
developed.

The origin of
the name Tajik has been embroiled in twentieth century political disputes about
whether Turkic or Iranian people were the original inhabitants of Central Asia.
Until the twentieth century, people in the region used two types of distinction
to identify themselves: way of life—either nomadic or sedentary—and place of
residence.

Most if not all,
of what is today Tajikistan was part of ancient Persia's Achaemenid Empire
which was subdued by Alexander the Great in the fourth century B.C. and then
became part of the Greco-Bactrian kingdom. The northern part of what is now
Tajikistan was part of Soghdiana.

As intermediaries on the Silk Route between China and markets to the
west and south, the Soghdians imparted religions such as Buddhism, Netorian
Christianity, Zoroastrianism, and Manichaeism, as well as their own alphabet
and other knowledge, to peoples along the trade routes. Islamic Arabs began the
conquest of the region in earnest in the early eighth century. In the
development of a modern Tajik national identity, the most important state in
Central Asia after the Islamic conquest was the Persian-speaking Samanid
principality (875-999). During their reign, the Samanids supported the revival
of the written Persian language. Samanid literary patronage played an important
role in preserving the culture of pre-Islamic Iran.

Until 1991,
Tajikistan was part of the former USSR. In Soviet times, the investment in
social structures allowed Tajikistan to reach a high level of development
within the education system.
