Summary: Doing the 10-day trek in the Fann Mountains was an amazing experience without any issues. A car picked us up in Samarkand, and another took us to Dushanbe. Each day was a new adventure, with breathtakingly wild landscapes. The mountains reflected in the crystal-clear waters of the countless deep blue lakes, where we swam every day. The route is demanding but without any technical difficulties. We slept in tents every night except in the Seven Lakes Valley. The meals prepared by our cook were excellent. A must-do!
