Hike to the Fanfarok waterfall at the 21st kilometer of the Varzob gorge, mountains of Tajikistan
Our previous hike in the 21-kilometer section of the Varzob Gorge was in winter, and we made it up to the poplar grove where we set up camp and ended our journey. With the arrival of spring, we can now hike further in a day, for example, to the waterfall. That's what we'll do on this hike, we'll reach the waterfall in the 21st kilometer of the Varzob Gorge.

This time everything was more enjoyable, firstly because of the spring season, and secondly, we went on this off-road vehicle that made it more fun and exciting.
