There is a beautiful historic castle here, with several shops selling traditional clothes at reasonable prices and offering beautiful items. You can also rent clothes for photography in the castle grounds. The castle itself is stunning, and it’s probably even more beautiful in spring when everything is green. The entrance fee is 10 Somoni.

Not worth to go on purpose from Dushanbe, if you are near by is ok. The structure is interesting, however, it is very bad maintained. Also it’s smaller than it looks like.

Every section of castle entrence fee is different.every one 20 somoni.the castle so amazing.from dushanbe you can come here by bus(bus number 270 goes from outside of Dushanbe bus station to Hisor bus station)or shared taxis.

Nicely restored, but more information on the history and use of this area would be good. Good for the views.

A must-visit destination with fantastic photo opportunities. Enjoy horseback riding and plan for a leisurely 2-hour stay. It's advisable to have a guide to provide insightful explanations.

HOSOR FORT Hisor Fort is conveniently located along the Khanaka River, in Hisor Valley. The building has gone through different reconstructions, renovations, and additions. Historical records point at a fort in Hisor as far back as 1000 BC. More recent records of the fort relate to the time when Cyrus the Great founded the first Persian Empire (around 550 BC). Not much of the original fort has passed the test of time, unfortunately. Dating the current fort is not a straightforward task, as different buildings were added at different times. Inside the fortress, recently, a wedding ceremony building was erected. The oldest surviving part of Hisor Fort is the arched gate, which is probably from around the year 500. Chasmai Mohiyon Mosque was built in 700, the same period of time when the construction of Sangin Mosque (Stone Mosque) also started, but this wasn’t completed until almost 1,000 years later. A salient feature of Sangin Mosque is the four bottomless jugs placed within the walls of the dome to improve the acoustics of the hall. The 1500s mark the building of several components of the fort, namely the wall where the main gate is located, the Old Madrassa, the Makhdumi A’zam Mausoleum, and some additions to the Old Mosque. One of the latest additions next to the fort is a caravanserai from 1808, a place for Silk Road traders and their camels to safely spend the night. Only the lower part of the caravanserai remains, as the top layer was taken by the Soviets to build a theater in Dushanbe. Most of the structures have been renovated. The Old Madrassa houses a museum with items from Tajikistan’s rural past and Soviet memorabilia. Also, old horse stables can be found on the other side of the road. If you want to understand the history of this region and enjoy the beautiful scenery, then you must visit this place.

It's nice but not much to do here. You can horse ride and explore the place which you will complete in an hour max. For me it's not worth the long drive from the city. Would have been better if we went to a lake instead.
