All about the mountain peaks of Tajikistan, which annually attract thousands of climbers and travelers to our country.
Yesterday, August 8, the world celebrated Climber's Day – a holiday that knows no bounds. On this day in 1786, doctor Michel-Gabriel Packard and mountain guide Jacques Balm were the first to reach the highest point of the Alps – Mount Mont Blanc, whose height is 4810 meters above sea level. Prior to this, all attempts were unsuccessful.
