Visiting a HERMIT in Tajikistan

When we were in Tajikistan two months ago we went on a hike with Hike Tajikistan to visit a HERMIT that lives up in the mountains. To get to his house you need to drive 2 hours outside of Dushanbe city, and then go on a two hour hike into the mountains on sheep paths. 

His house is an old weather station from the USSR days. He used to record weather and monitor things when Tajikistan was a part of the USSR, but in 1991 when Tajikistan became an independant state his program was closed down. He decided to stay in the house and live up there completely alone. He does open his house up for hikers and tourists, but he just asks for a small fee to see his photographs and living area. He is still living up there at this moment.
