Tajikistan 2015
This was the second part of an AGS tour to Uzbekistan & Tajikistan in April/May 2015.
We started to botanise around Dushanbe and visited areas as Romit, Varzob, Ansob Pass, Shirkent National Park and lake Iskanderkul. Then we moved to Kulob to explore an area there before we drove along the Afghan border to Kalaikhumb. Here we botanised on the Sagirdasht pass which was at the top still full with snow. During this trip we saw a wealth of bulbous plants like Iris, Tulipa, Scilla, Corydalis, Colchicum, etc. Tajikistan is an easy country to travel in and its people are very friendy. Most special was the drive along the Panj river with some narrow gorges and spectaculair views.
