Tajikistan Trip — French-Speaking Guide

I was lucky enough to spend two stays in Tajikistan between October and November 2025. I met Fayziddin, who’s a French-speaking guide and very knowledgeable—he really knows how to share his love for his country and his valley. He’ll welcome you to his village and, in the future, to a hostel that’s currently under construction. I can’t recommend him enough!

Hi there,

We’d prefer a travel journal about your trips to Tajikistan rather than a post that looks like an ad in disguise. Please edit your post, otherwise we’ll have to remove it.

Hi Voyage Forum, you're right—a little more effort on the presentation would've been better. This village is a traditionalist Sunni community, and you can get a very warm welcome thanks to Fayziddin, the son of one of the village’s imams (his late father). The valley to get there is a bit rough from what I remember, but really beautiful. According to him, there are a few snow leopards around. Fayziddin speaks French fluently and offers his services to agencies or private travelers. I was lucky enough to meet him in 2019.
