Tajikistan is open to leisure tourism and active travel is happening, including on the Pamir route and in major tourist areas. It remains a high-caution destination because of security issues near the Afghanistan border, limited infrastructure, and practical payment/logistics hassles, so most visitors should stay well away from the border zone and plan carefully.
