I mean, as soon as you step off the plane in Dushanbe, the capital, you notice that all around you in all directions are huge snowcapped mountains.

And so, geographically it's very awe-striking how beautiful and just how untouched the countryside [is].

In this video, a U.S. Army National Guard major describes the geographic landscape of Tajikistan.
