Getting There
The Hisor complex is situated about 25km from Dushanbe. The easiest way to make the short journey there is by taxi. Shared taxis are cheaper. Once in Hisor there are several travel guide companies, and the caravanserai is well signposted.
What to Expect
The original caravanserai building remains well preserved at Hisor. Its original atmosphere, with busy shops, stables and sleeping quarters, travellers from Europe and China carrying all sorts of goods to be traded, can easily be visualised.
