Rooted deep in the soil of Central Asia, Turkmenistan is a landlocked beauty suffused with an intricate tapestry of history. Ringed by Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Iran, and the charming Caspian Sea, the country serves its visitors a unique blend of natural splendour and cultural allure. Merv, one of the world's oldest cities and Turkmenistan’s treasured archaeological site, takes you back in time to unveil a captivating narrative of thriving civilizations and glorious empires.

Home to one of the world's largest reserves of natural gas, the country remains an influential figure on the global energy stage. However, its political landscape is a checkerboard of strongman politics, with the reins of power narrowly held since its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Yet, in spite of its turbulent political sphere, the resolute spirit of the Turkmen people endures, rooted firmly in the fertile soils of their homeland.

When to visit Turkmenistan

The idyllic seasons of spring and autumn paint an inviting portrait of Turkmenistan for the discerning traveller. In cooler climes, campfires glow with ethereal wonder alongside a flaming gas crater; a seemingly paradoxical spectacle for an unforgettable night under the stars. Discover ancient rock plateaus adorned with dinosaur footprints, remnants of a world sculpted by the eon-tides of time.

Turkmenistan is a treasure trove for history enthusiasts, with the Silk Road tours weaving tales of ancient trade routes and multifaceted cultures. As a section of the famed 'Five Stans,' the country is a stunning canvas for small group adventures into the soul of Asia. From snow-capped mountains standing sentry over the landscape, to the vast expanse of the desert that rolls out like an endless carpet, Turkmenistan offers travellers an immersive journey into its unique blend of nature and culture.
