The Siyoma River runs through the upper reaches of the Varzob Gorge in the Tajikistan mountains
The Siyoma River Gorge is situated 54 kilometers along the Varzob highway, almost directly opposite the Varzob Climbing Camp. It is a popular destination for mountain hikers and on weekends, both local residents of Dushanbe and visitors from other cities and countries can often be found here. The Siyoma River starts at an elevation of 1782 meters above sea level, at its confluence with the Varzob River near the road, and rises to 3000-3200 meters in its upper reaches.

We hiked through the Siyoma Gorge on a weekday and only encountered local acquaintances. Our goal was not tourism, but rather harvesting various mountain herbs. Therefore, our hike was not particularly adventurous as we did not venture too far into the gorge nor did we reach its end. Nonetheless, we managed to take some photographs along the way, as a hike is a hike, no matter how short.


Here, at about 54 km of the Varzob highway, there is a bridge and a sign leading to the Siyoma gorge.

After passing through the bridge, at the beginning of the Siem gorge, we are met by a long-term construction of an incomprehensible object, which will probably never be completed.

Behind this object is another bridge, already across the Siyoma, this is a photo from the bridge, the bridges themselves were not removed this time, but they are in the past photo-review of a winter hike in this gorge.

Further photos along the course of our movement along the Siyoma gorge, as I have already mentioned, passed a little, the hike was for herbs, so the photo is not much.

Although here, from the interesting events of the campaign, we met a large lizard, it was basking in the sun on a large stone, when I came to take photos, the lizard ran under the stone.

The most important feature of the gorge of Siyoma, this is of course the water in the river, it is very cold and has a pronounced turquoise hue, photos of course do not convey all this, but at least something...
