The plug used in Tajikistan.
Urban areas like Dushanbe and Khujand generally have more stable power supply, while rural and mountainous regions may experience frequent outages. Some older buildings in remote areas might have non-standard or damaged outlets, so carrying multiple adapter types is advisable for travelers venturing outside major cities.
