Border areas
There have been armed clashes between Tajik security forces and suspected criminal groups in border areas, and both marked and unmarked minefields are present. We advise against venturing off the main roads. The border with Afghanistan remains unstable, as this area is used as a transit point for drugs and other forms of illegal trafficking. Border crossings are often closed at short notice.
