5.00A fantastic day trip to Fann Mountains and Iskanderkul lake. Relatively long driving from Dushanbe turned out to be pretty comfortable thanks to proper vehicle and experienced driver. Upon arrival we spent around 3 hours at the lake enjoying wonderful views, relaxing, hiking to the Snake lake and Fann Niagara waterfall and tasting delicious local food. The day turned out to be just wonderful thanks to perfect team of guide and driver. And Fann Mountains and Iskanderkul lake are definitely worth visiting for all coming to Tajikistan - in my opinion, these are one of the most beautiful spots in the whole world (I’ve been to 100+ countries).
