The 21st kilometer gorge is probably one of the most visited gorges in the Varzob area, at least it used to be. It starts, as the name suggests, at the 21st kilometer of the Varzob highway and stretches for about half a day's journey until it reaches a waterfall. It's very convenient for a day hike.

Winter hike in the Odjuk gorge, Varzob, mountains of Tajikistan
The Odjuk gorge, also known as the Canyon of 7 Bridges, is quite extensive, and lovers of long hikes can walk through it all the way to the alpine meadows. Anywhere in the canyon, you will find a cozy spot for resting and camping. I found this description online. It is quite easy to get there from Dushanbe; there are minibusses going to the village of Varzob from the Vodonasosnaya station, and the cost is around 50 cents. You need to get off at the supermarket. I left Dushanbe at around 8 in the morning and arrived at the supermarket at 8:30. The temperature in the city was -1°C, while in the canyon, it was around -4°C to -5°C. The sky was clear, and there was almost no wind, which means the weather was perfect for hiking.
