MIR Corporation, whose name means "peace" and "world" in Russian, has been specialized in Russia (and neighboring countries) since 1986. Offering scheduled and custom journeys to Russia, along the Trans-Siberian and across the Silk Route, MIRs Seattle-based experts design imaginative trips that take travelers far from the familiar and work closely with local affiliates in Western Russia, Siberia, Ukraine and Central Asia to carry them out.
MIR Corporation notes that at the heart of the Silk Road in Central Asia, Tajikistan is an undervisited destination ripe for discovery, from the colorful bazaars of Dushanbe and Khujand, to the Zoroastrian ruins of Panjakent, to the stunning vistas on the “Roof of the World” in the Pamir Mountains.
