Central Tajikistan gathers the capital and the valleys around it — from the green Varzob gorge on Dushanbe's doorstep to the Rasht valley climbing toward the western Pamirs and the warm southern lowlands of Khatlon. It is the country's hub and its most accessible mountain country, the place where most journeys begin and end.
