TRVL° Trip Style
Adventure Series: The TRVL° Photography Adventure Series pushes beyond the familiar, taking photographers into rugged environments, unpredictable conditions, and wild corners of the world. These trips are built for those who crave challenge and authenticity. Capturing raw, unfiltered stories where comfort takes a back seat to discovery and experience.
On this Tajikistan adventure, much of our journey will be spent traveling in 4×4 vehicles as we explore the country’s dramatic landscapes. A professional driver will handle all the driving, so you can sit back and focus on the experience rather than the road.
This trip does come with some challenges. Roads can be rough and bumpy, and rural accommodations are basic. You will also need to adjust to the effects of high altitude, though the itinerary does not require significant physical exertion.
Fitness Level 3: Expect some longer walks and extended drives over uneven terrain, but no strenuous hiking or demanding activity. The primary challenge will be managing the high altitude.

What is TRVL° All About?
In short, the motto is: “Explore. Adventure. Capture.”
One of our goals is to create beautiful photos, yes. And we will. But our larger goal is to connect with the destination we travel, and to create memories. We want our participants to feel empowered by the experience. We want our participants to walk away feeling like they captured great images, and even better stories.
We work with local tour operators and photographers in order to empower the photography community in the destinations we visit. And in working with these local photographers, we help connect our tour participants with the locals on a way that is so special.

Will there be a local photographer?
The short answer is yes. The long answer is that we’re still in the process of vetting local photographers to decide who we will be taking with us.
One of the goals of our new company TRVL was to empower the local photography community. So we want them involved in all our trips. We’re currently working with local operators to find a photographer that can not only help us lead this trip, but who we can help grow in their career as well.
