Tours
Tour 1
Ashgabat is the capital of Turkmenistan and one of the most unusual cities in the world. This city, listed in the Guinness Book of Records as “the whitest marble city in the world”, is explained by its architecture, cleanliness and grandeur. It combines ancient history, rich traditions and futuristic cityscapes.
Tour 2
Darvaza, also known as the “Gates of Hell”, is a burning gas crater in the center of the Karakum Desert.
The crater is about 70 meters in diameter and 20 meters deep. At night, Darvaza is especially impressive: the blazing fire illuminates the surrounding desert, creating a mesmerizing, almost unearthly landscape. Tourists from all over the world come here to see this amazing spectacle and feel the heat emanating from the depths of the earth.
Tour 3
Not far from Ashgabat, just 60 km to the west, is the famous Bakharden Cave, which contains the equally famous underground lake Kov-Ata (Kou-Ata). The name of the lake is translated as “father of caves”. The fame of this place is associated not so much with the beauty of the underground nature, but with the healing properties of the water.
Tour 4
Yangi-Kala, which means “Fire Fortresses” in Turkmen, is a series of cliffs and canyons in the western part of the country. With their red, white and pink colors, the cliffs resemble the landscapes of Mars. The age of these formations is millions of years – an ancient ocean once stood here, leaving behind incredible geological forms.
Tour 5
Four hours’ drive from Ashgabat, in the western Kopetdag Range, there is a region of extraordinary beauty and culture, inhabited by the Nokhur mountain tribe of Turkmens, who have preserved their unique culture, traditional crafts and unique architecture through the centuries. Nokhur is included in the list of “100 most romantic places in the world.”
Tour 6
