The Lakhsh district has favorable conditions and opportunities for developing the tourism sector, given the presence of historical sites, therapeutic springs, and stunning landscapes. Climbing is one of the most popular forms of sports tourism in Lakhsh. The National Park of Tajikistan operates in the area, home to 13 glaciers. It features several high mountain peaks, including Ismail Samani Peak (formerly known as Peak Communism), the highest peak in Central Asia at 7,495 meters, as well as Korzhenevskaya Peak at 7,105 meters and Moskvina Peak at 6,785 meters. For beginner climbers, there are also numerous more accessible mountains, such as Margzora Peak. Tourists who visit Lakhsh in July and August are primarily climbers aiming to conquer mountain peaks and view the Fedchenko Glacier along with other beautiful landscapes in the area.
Mountain biking is also becoming increasingly popular in Lakhsh, with numerous trails of varying difficulty attracting both professionals and beginners. For enthusiasts of extreme sports like paragliding and base jumping, Lakhsh offers plenty of opportunities. The district is rich in healing springs; for example, the Tandi Kul healing complex, located 26 kilometers from the Center of Urban Village of Vahdat, is renowned for its therapeutic properties. The medicinal water is used to treat liver diseases, skin conditions, nervous disorders, rheumatism, and others.
Lakhsh has 6 hotels and 5 homestays, providing good conditions for guests. Climbers have the opportunity to stay in cozy rooms at "Moskvina Glade." The camp is situated in the subalpine zone at an altitude of 4,200 meters above sea level, at the confluence of the Walter and Moskvina glaciers, making it the most convenient base for ascending Ismail Samani and Korzhenevskaya peaks. “Moskvina Glade” features a small lake fed by springs, 4 insulated two-person tent cabins for camp administration during the season, and 11 two-person wooden and aluminum cabins for climbers and tourists, along with a communication center (pavilion-dining hall), shower, sauna, and other facilities. If necessary, tent frames can be erected. There is also a convenient helicopter pad on-site. Currently, two methods are practiced for transporting people, cargo, and supplies to "Moskvina Glade": by helicopter from Dushanbe (with a flight time of one and a half hours one way) or by car along a 350-kilometer route east of the capital, alongside the Vakhsh, Surkhob, and Muksu rivers to the village of Depdshar, and then to the final destination through four mountain passes.
