Mountains, ruins, and Silk Rd towns of northern Tajikistan

On our tour of the Silk Road in Central Asia, we crossed a border out of Turkmenistan , and grabbed a taxi then train across southern Uzbekistan, to cross another border to get into Tajikistan. This country of around 10 million people is sandwiched between Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, China and Afghanistan, and is known for its beautiful mountains; in fact more than 93% of Tajikistan is mountainous.
