Our first Turkmenistan tour of the year will begin in Ashgabat, the white and gold capital city. Famous for its magnificent monuments and wide, empty streets, we'll show you everything that this incredibly unique city has to offer.
A highlight for everyone is always the Gates of Hell, but we're also going to do some less famous things outside of Ashgabat. We'll spend a night at the Ashgabat-esque glitzy-yet-abandoned resort town of Avaza, before driving out to the desert to see Yangykala Canyon. We'll stop in obscure little Turkmen towns and villages along the way, and see a cemetery where all the graves have goat horns above them.

If you like the look of this tour but the dates don't work for you, or you'd like to do part of the tour, please get in touch and let us know. All our tours are able to be split into smaller sections, we're always scheduling new tours and your dates might work for one of them, or we can always organise an independent tour.
