About Tajik National Park

Tajik National Park
 

Tajik National Park, established in 1992, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the eastern part of Tajikistan. It spans over 2.6 million acres across the Pamir Mountains, a region often referred to as the 'Roof of the World.' This remote park is characterized by its towering peaks, expansive glaciers, and high-altitude desert-like plateaus. The park is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including rare species such as the Marco Polo sheep and the snow leopard. It offers a wealth of outdoor activities such as trekking, mountaineering, and bird watching. Significant landmarks include the Fedchenko Glacier, the longest glacier in the world outside of the polar regions, and Lake Karakul, a large endorheic lake surrounded by majestic mountain ranges. Visitors are drawn to the park for its stunning vistas, rich wildlife, and the opportunity to experience the unique culture of the indigenous Pamiri people.
