Turkmenistan remains one of the least explored destinations in the world. From Ashgabat, a city of Guinness World Records and futuristic white marble architecture, to ancient Silk Road cities and surreal desert landscapes, this itinerary combines history, archaeology, and natural wonders.
Why Visit Turkmenistan?
Abdylla describes Turkmenistan as a country for seasoned travelers seeking the unusual:
Surreal landscapes like Yangykala Canyon and the burning Darvaza gas crater
Silk Road cities such as Merv and Konye-Urgench
A capital city (Ashgabat) filled with world-record-breaking monuments, the largest indoor Ferris wheel, and the world’s largest handmade carpet
Rich traditions of Turkmen carpets and the legendary Akhal-Teke horses

Days 1–3: Ashgabat and Surroundings
