Ishkashim Border Market

One of my best memories of living in Tajikistan was the visit to this market. Wonderful to see communities come together.

I have been here sometimes in 2010, it is where locals from Afghan/Tajik borders meet to trade goods. Pretty friendly people on both sides.

The Ishkashim border market opens only on Saturday morning. I was there on 09/14 and it was not open for 3 three weeks. I don't know where I can know the information about the Ishkashim border market. By the way, there are other border markets in Khorog and Kalaikhum. If you arrived these places on Saturday maybe you can visit the border market there.

Tourists can cross into this Saturday cross border market on Afghanistan side without visa.

Was told by PECTA that it has been closed for 3 years?
