Turkmenistan is an eclectic country that oozes history and quirkiness, with warm inhabitants who enjoying extending a welcoming hand to visitors (even if the government is somewhat less effusive). Visit this eccentric nation to forge a path across windswept deserts and jagged mountains, through aromatic spice bazaars, along the ancient Silk Road, all the while encountering the distinctive faces of Central Asia.

Tashkent to Ashgabat

Very interesting trip as you can't visit Turkmenistan without being on a tour. A good contrast between the 2 countries

The Tashkent to Ashgabat trip was amazing, such a different country with strange rules and many entries in Guinness Book of Records and large monuments. The guide was great and the people we met were very friendly. A country that you really should visit for a different and wonderful experience.

I can highly recommend the Tashkent to Ashgabat trip. After visiting Uzbekistan last year and falling in love with it, I had to return to see Khiva and then cross into Turkmenistan. Khiva was beautiful and Turkmenistan was mad. So normal and surreal at the same time! It was fascinating to visit a country that has little written about it and to explore as much as we could. Make sure you apply for your LOI as soon as you book the trip and ensure you receive it before you leave for the trip, and don't bother thinking about social media in Turkmenistan - you won't have it, just enjoy the digital detox. If you have time, I would recommend booking the Uzbekistan Tashkent to Tashkent trip too beforehand as it really is a stunning country.

Shukhkrat in Uzbekistan and Ali in Turkmenistan were amazing tour guides---both were very knowledgeable about their countries and easy to talk to---no questions were left unanswered! What an experience-- I would HIGHLY recommend this trip!
