The Pamirs, a renowned highland area celebrated for its towering peaks and rich cultural heritage, holds a special place in world geography. With elevations exceeding 7,000 meters above sea level, it's aptly dubbed the "Roof of the World." Adventurers, scholars, and researchers alike are drawn to its mix of history, geography, and diverse ethnicities.
Travel to Sarez Lake, one of the most breathtaking tours in the Pamirs. Formed during the 1911 earthquake, a massive landslide blocked the Bartang River valley, creating this young but stunning lake named after the submerged village of Sarez.
Sarez Lake covers 80 sq km and stretches 60 km long. Known as the "Sleeping Dragon," it was formed when the Usoy landslide blocked the Bartang River. Its mysterious beauty attracts travelers worldwide.
Stay in hotels and guest houses in one of Tajikistan’s most picturesque regions. From deluxe rooms to budget-friendly options, enjoy cosy atmospheres, professional staff, and high-quality security for a memorable stay.
Sarez Travel was founded in 1991 to promote tourism in Tajikistan's GBAO region. After a pause during political instability, the company resumed its mission, delivering unforgettable experiences in the Pamirs.
Sometimes tourists want to find partners and join a group to cut down the cost of the tour package. For this purpose, we have added a new section "Scheduled tours". In this section, you will find the name, price, itinerary and status of the tour and send a request of booking.
