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.
On this day, we decided to tell you about the mountain peaks of Tajikistan, which every year attract a large number of travelers, climbers and extreme sports enthusiasts from all over the world to our country with a dream to conquer them.
