Tajikistan is a country in Central Asia. Hitchhiking is quite possible there, and Anton Krotov has called it "the most hospitable country in Central Asia".
Pamir Highway
On the Pamir Highway seems to be almost no traffic, but for that reason nearly everybody stops. A small payment can be expected, make it clear before you enter. Russian language is common. You need special permits for some regions along the Pamir highway, which must be cleared before you enter. Call your responsable embassy for that reason. Be aware of the landmines down in the Panj River.
