Rules in force · 6Mehrgon Bazaar aisles are crowded and uneven
- Tajikistan ↗Check entry rules on the official e-visa portal only; many nationalities need an e-visa, and the Gorno-Badakhshan (Pamir) region needs an extra permit.
- Tajikistan ↗Carry Tajik somoni in small notes; markets, taxis and tea houses are cash-first, and cards work mainly in hotels and larger shops in Dushanbe.
- Tajikistan ↗Land borders, including those with Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, have been closed or restricted at times: confirm the current status before you plan an overland leg.
- Central Tajikistan ↗Mountain roads close in rain and snow and are unsafe at night: leave early and let your hotel know your route.
- Dushanbe ↗Do not photograph government buildings, the presidential complex, bridges, police, the airport or military sites; ask before you photograph anything official.
- Dushanbe ↗Mehrgon Bazaar aisles are crowded and uneven: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never into the market.

Lock the area first. Hotel search links appear only after you decide where the pillow is — so no listing can pull you into the wrong area.
