The day was sunny and not too hot, making it perfect for hiking and exploring. Sometimes unexpected rain showers fell, so it is advisable to bring an umbrella.
Jan KlamerThe temperatures were bearable during the day, but the nights were very cold. Thick wool was really needed!
FlorisThe snow-covered views are breathtaking, but the temperatures are harsh: down to -10°C. We were not quite prepared for such extreme cold. Warm weather is welcome.
JoelleOn most days the sky was very clear, only a few days it rained. A wonderful time to relax, even though it can get considerably colder at night.
AlidaWarm days with temperatures up to 30 degrees Celsius and clear, sunny skies. A sudden rainstorm caused an unplanned cold snap, but otherwise it was perfect weather for relaxing and hiking in beautiful nature.
Gijs van AndelCold days with frosty mornings. Skies were clear, but temperatures remained below 10 degrees. Warm clothing is required. Little rain fell.
Daan Sint JagoSince there is almost no rain, nature comes into its own. Cool off at night, so bring warm clothes!
FabianNovember in Tajikistan was colder than expected. Daytime temperatures remained around 8 degrees, but at night they dropped well below freezing. Although the scenery was breathtaking with snow-capped mountain peaks, the weather was disappointing.
