DUSHANBE, January 8, 2014, Asia-Plus – Globe Spots has listed Tajikistan along with Malta, Romania, Sierra Leone, Svalbard, Indonesia, Lithuania, Haiti, Sao Tome and Principe, and Bonaire among 10 top destinations for 2014.
Globe Spots divides travels into three categories: 1) classic travel for great sights and convenient travel; 2) adventurous places for those “who are going above and beyond, seeking out the best travel; and 3) hardcore places for those “who are willing to travel anywhere just for the buzz.”
Tajikistan together with Sierra Leone and Haiti is listed in the third category.
Globe Spots notes that a raw DIY (Do It Yourself) destination, Tajikistan is so far off the beaten track that just getting there is an adventure on its own.
“Though rather small, the country shares borders with Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and China, giving a hint that something fascinating is awaiting those who come. As everywhere in Central Asia, the people are friendly (corrupt police besides), but what makes Tajikistan stand out from its equally exotic neighbors is the dramatic diverse landscape that will leave you dumbstruck at almost every turn. Jagged snowcapped mountains, blue alpine lakes, rocky valleys and green pastures, all accessible by jeep, bicycle, donkey or foot. It”s not a surprise that the Pamir Highway, that winds its way through the rough mountainous Southeast region, is considered one of the most epic road trips in the world and is increasingly popular with extreme cyclists and adventure travelers.”
Globe Spots is an independent group of keen travelers, some even professional, who like to share with other travelers about places they like. Its goal is reportedly to expand people’s travel mind about places they might or might not have heard of, feeding them small corners of the world that they would probably want to travel to. Globe Spots reportedly has unique photo galleries not seen elsewhere on the web. They are put together as an inspirational portfolio telling a story of a place or a tradition.
