You can explore the southern Khatlon Province on Panoramio, a site that tags photos to exact location on Google Maps. You can also view plenty of photos on 500px and on Flickr that are tagged with Khatlon as a location (note: some of the photos on the above websites are mislabeled or placed in the wrong location).
