Stock up on warm, quick drying clothes

This is the last thing that you should know about Tajikistan. Tajikistan is made up of mountains on 93 percent of its territory. Unexpected weather is something you can count on in the mountains. The weather in the mountains might change at any time. You'll be dissatisfied if you're taken off guard. And drenched. And freezing. It's going to be a disaster.

Pack at least two pairs of warm, quick-drying clothing for yourself. Tajikistan is not like Nepal in that you cannot buy hiking equipment there. Polyester and nylon dry rapidly. Merino wool dries slower but is a good choice since it is lightweight and keeps you warm even when wet. If you're a vegetarian or vegan, here are some phrases you should know before visiting Tajikistan. If one pair of clothes becomes wet, change it and hang the damp set to dry.
