Tajikistan - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution

U.S. Department of State travel advisory (Level 2) for Tajikistan warns of terrorism risk, unexploded landmines and cluster munitions along the Afghan–Tajik and Uzbek–Tajik borders, hazards in the Vakhsh and Rasht valleys and the Romit hiking area, and limited U.S. ability to assist U.S.-Tajik dual nationals. Some districts (Surobad in GBAO and Sarazam) are also noted; U.S. government employees face night travel restrictions between cities.
