A small, dusty town in the middle of Tajikistan's agricultural heartland, Bokhtar is a forgotten place. There's not much to see or do, but that's all part of its charm. The people are warm and welcoming, and the pace of life is slow and relaxed. Explore the town's narrow streets, lined with traditional white houses with blue roofs, and stop in at one of the local teahouses for a cup of strong, sweet tea. Visit the bazaar to see the locals buying and selling their produce, and watch the kids playing in the park. If you're lucky, you might even get to see a traditional Tajik wedding.
