Ishkoshim (Template:Lang-tg; Template:Lang-fa), also Ishkashim (Template:Lang-ru), is the capital of Ishkoshim District in Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region in south-east Tajikistan.[2] It lies on the Panj River, at a point where its direction turns sharply north. Ishkoshim lies opposite a town of the same name in Afghanistan, although the name of the Afghan town is normally transliterated Ishkashim following Persian practice.
A bridge opened in 2006 links the two towns.[3] There are plans to reconstruct the 100-km highway connecting Ishkoshim to the provincial capital Khorugh, which has been damaged by snow avalanches.[4]
