Search hotels in Panjakent

Panjakent is an awesome city! The people are great and you can really feel the hustle and bustle of every day life. The ancient town outside Panjakent gives you the opportunity to enjoy seeing the town from above and immerse yourself in a gorgeous mountainous atmosphere. You can see the mountain range in the distance with high peaks piercing through the sky. We went there in winter so we could see snow on the mountains. Then you can enjoy the famous Bazaar and a stroll through the city, of course. Food is delicious; the tea houses( chaykhona) and coffee houses (qahvakhona) serve food, too. People are very helpful and kind. English is spoken mostly by younger people; it is good if you speak a bit of Tajik or Russian. It is also a safe city. We felt comfortable at all times there.

Interesting historical sites of ancient Panjakent town and nearby excavations of 5000 year old Sarazm settlement. Everything in Panjakent within walking distance but Sarazm is a few miles out of town and a taxi would be needed for a visit there.
