HOW TO GET FROM SAMARKAND TO DUSHANBE, from Uzbekistan to Tajikistan, with PRICES, full guide

♡ Hello! My name is Lianna and welcome to my channel! This is a video from my trip to Central Asia. I will explain how to get from Samarqand, Uzbekistan to Dushanbe, Tajikistan, and the way back, with all prices. I figured out the way on my own, with the limited information I found online, so I wanted to create this video for travelers to be prepared for the trip and not get scammed. :) Keep in mind: - I speak Russian, so I could communicate easily and bargain prices. And I am very stubborn when bargaining ;) - You pay only by cash - There is no direct bus Here is a full guide with tips: How to get from Samarkand to Dushanbe: 1. Use the Yandex Go taxi app, you can pay by your card (Revolut works fine), and order it from wherever you are, right to the border. 2. There are no issues with passing the border, might wait in line for 10-30 minutes. You cannot film there. 3. Before the Tajikistan border, there is an exchange. The exchange rate is really good (close to the Google one). If you were not able to get TJS in Samarkand, then you must get TJS there for future expenses. 4. On the Tajik border, you need to catch a taxi to Panjakent, they will drop you at the bazaar, and offer to drive you to the bus station for additional cost, if it is not more than 2 TJS per person, then you can agree. - From the border, you can actually take a taxi right to Dushanbe, but I am not sure how much it will cost, if it is not more than 115 TJS (per person), then it is a good deal....
