CAPITAL DUSHANBE - POPULATION 7.2 MILLION - AREA 143,100 SQ KM -OFFICIAL LANGUAGE TAJIK
Mountainous Tajikistan, host to the ancient Silk Road, has been an inviting destination for travelers for quite some time. More tour companies are cottoning on to the country's potential, particularly in the realm of ecotourism. A Hyatt Regency is scheduled to open in Dushanbe some time in 2008, meaning that after a spot of strenuous mountain hiking there'll be a more luxurious place to lay your head than has existed up till now. Become a fan of the Fan Mountains, explore the Zoroastrian ruins of the Wakhan Corridor and revel in the satisfaction of arriving before the crowds catch wind of what's on offer.
