Tajikistan 2023 Expedition

Dr Chris Clark, veteran of many CFZ expeditions had for some time wanted to return to the Central Asian country of Tajikistan. He decided to take a small team back there in the summer of 2023.

“The area situated between the Karatag and Shirkent Rivers, and the Karatag Valley stretching to the mountains to the Mura Pass leading to Iskanderkul Lake, was once, according to the nomadic Uzbek people, inaccessible to people. A Tajik villager from Hakimi said that the Pashmi Valley has a rich walnut forest and water, but had long been devoid of people because …”the hairy wild men from the mountains would push boulders down the mountain and throw stones and force people to leave these places.”
