ClimateA continental climate with hot summers and mild winters; sub-tropical in the valleys but polar on the mountains. The mountainous terrain contributes to the climate varying hugely. In general, spring and autumn have moderate temperatures but summer can be scorchingly hot. Up in the mountains winter is more severe than in the lowlands but the occasional dust storms in the lower reaches can make life unpleasant.
TransportMarshrutkas run fixed routes between cities; otherwise opt for shared taxis. There are no local train services but domestic airline flights are available which in winter may be the only option to travel to remote locations when the mountain passes shut down. Rent a car or motorbike to ride the Pamir Highway.
Best time to travelJune to September with September being the most salubrious.
What to wearDress modestly and for the weather.
