Panjakent: an ancient place to Tajikistan Panjakent was once the capital of the Sogdian Empire, a Zoroastrian civilization well predating Islam in the region.

Note: Though most people travel to Tajikistan for trekking, there are several ancient sites in the area worth visiting on your way to the mountains. Part of your day is for crossing from Uzbekistan to Tajikistan, but it’s so easy you should still have time for checking out some ruins and relics(however if earlier better).

Places to visit around Panjakent:

Panjakent Bazaar: This bazaar has a beautiful central building ringed by brick archways. It’s a good place to stock up on trekking snacks like nuts and dried fruits, or get your first taste of Tajik hospitality.
