Turkmenistan lies in the south-west of Central Asia between the Caspian Sea and Uzbekistan. Most of the country is the Karakum desert.

The main points of our routes: white-marble Ashgabat, the burning Darvaza gas crater, UNESCO-listed ancient Merv and Kunya-Urgench, the old Khorezm capital across the Amu Darya.

Entry is by visa with a host escort; our programmes pair it with Khiva and Bukhara.
