Geography and environment.

Over 80% of Turkmenistan's land mass is covered by the Karakum Desert, which stretches from west to east for 550 Miles. Consequently, the landscape is dominated by undulating sandy desert dunes, with low mountains to the south and south-east, and the Caspian Sea running the length of the western fringe. Turkmenistan shares borders with Kazakhstan to the north,   Uzbekistan   to the east, Afghanistan to the southeast and   Iran   to the south.

Best time to visit turkmenistan.

With a dry, subtropical desert climate, Turkmenistan earns the rank as Central Asia's hottest country. Spring (April-June) and autumn (September-November) are the ideal times to visit, as this is when weather conditions are the most comfortable. During summer - particularly July and August - the mercury can tip up to 49 °C (120 ° F) on a regular basis, while winters can get very cold, down to freezing in some parts of the north.

Top 5 things banned by Niyazov

Listening to car radios, lip-synching and recorded music were all prohibited as he believed they stifled the natural creative talents of Turkmen.

2. TV newswomen wearing make-up

Banned in 2004, because he believed Turkmen women were beautiful enough already without make-up. (Although, some reports claim this was actually because he was struggling to tell the difference between the male and female newsreaders!)

3. Gold teeth

Banned in April 2004 - instead Niyazov decreed the youth of Turkmenistan should chew on bones to preserve their teeth, in the same way dogs do.

4. Opera, ballet and the circus

Banned in 2001 for being unnecessary and 'decidedly un-Turkmen-like'.

5. Dogs in Ashgabat

Banished from the streets of the capital as a result of their 'unappealing odour'.

We advise that you apply for your LOI no later than 3 months before your trip to allow time for processing. Turkmenistan LOIs are processed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Turkmenistan and usually take around 4 weeks to be processed, with up to 6 weeks in peak travel season not uncommon. We strongly suggest submitting all documents no later than 2 months before arrival in order to allow sufficient time for processing.

NOTES: -  Independent travel in Turkmenistan is not permitted and your visa will only be valid for as long as tour services (including accommodation, guides, transport etc) are provided. - Make sure you have a print out of your LOI before boarding your flight or leaving for your trip.  - You will need to complete a migration card and pay a US$12 migration fee ($10 fee plus $2 admin charge) on arrival in Turkmenistan. - You will need 2 printed passport photos for your leader to submit to the migration office after your arrival in country.

Turkmenistan Small Group Tours

Turkmenistan

Turkmenistan’s landscape is characterized by beautiful sandy deserts and oases. In the middle of the Karakum desert at Darvaza lies the burning crater, also known as ‘the gate of hell’. One can spend the night in a yurt next to this gas drilling accident from Soviet times. The best time to visit Turkmenistan is Spring or Fall when the temperatures are more bearable than 40 degrees Celsius during the Summer months.

Travel Highlights of Turkmenistan

The modern capital of Turkmenistan – Ashgabat (‘the city of love’) welcomes visitors with a unique architectural style that appears to be a blend of science fiction and Romanesque marble. The city is dotted with impressive monuments and tremendous fountains. Other interesting sights include a burning gas crater in the middle of the desert, a luxurious resort town along the Capsian Seashore, and – most importantly – the remains of ancient cities such as Konye-Urgench and Merv that were once important stopovers along the Great Silk Road. Turkmen people are very hospitable and proud of their ancient history and rich traditions and customs. Turkmen carpets are well appreciated around the world, but only in Turkmenistan, you can see how they are being crafted by hand. Another pride of every Turkmen is the Akhal Teke horse breed that you can find nowhere except in Turkmenistan. Get to know our  top 5 places to visit in Turkmenistan in our blog.

MONEY & COSTS:

The Turkmen currency is called the Manat. In Ashgabat, you may find ATMs that accept international payment cards. VneshEkonomBank for example accepts Visa credit cards. However, most ATMs accept only local cards issued by Turkmen banks. Credit cards may be accepted in a few high-end hotels, but most stores and restaurants do not accept any cards. We recommend bringing all money in cash, in new USD banknotes of denominations of at least 20 USD. They will be easy to exchange. An emergency fund of around 500 USD in cash is always good to have during guided trips to Central Asia.

Turkmenistan is a safe country and most trips are trouble-free. There is a visible police presence and most citizens are law-abiding. That said, you are advised to wear a money belt, watch your belongings, steer clear of dark streets at night and avoid taking rides in unofficial taxis alone. Your safety is our first priority at Kalpak Travel; we know and regularly assess all our Turkmen partners and we closely monitor political events.

ENTRY & EXIT:

Citizens of every country in the world need a visa to enter Turkmenistan. As soon as you book a tour, we will ask you to provide some additional information to apply on your behalf for a letter of invitation. If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs approves your application, we will send you a letter of invitation. With this letter, you will be able to purchase the visa on arrival at Ashgabat Airport or at the land border. As soon as we receive the deposit payment for your tour, we will confirm your booking and send you an email with important pre-departure information. Please read it carefully as it contains important information on customs regulations for Turkmenistan.

BEST TIME TO GO:

The climate of Turkmenistan is continental and dry and the best seasons to visit are Spring and Autumn, from mid-April until early June and then again from September until early November. Autumn is drier than Spring, but even in Spring chances are high you can enjoy the bluest sky you have ever seen. Autumn is also the time when the country goes to harvest, meaning markets are full of fresh fruit and vegetables. If you don’t mind the dry heat of 40° Celsius, sometimes more, summer is the best time to go. There are few tourists and the sun is shining every single day. If you are considering visiting Turkmenistan in winter you will practically have the country all to yourself. We recommend you go in November or December when daytime temperatures are still around 10° Celsius and the often chilly winds of January & February have not yet begun to make their presence felt.

Do not drink water, unless it is bottled, filtered, or boiled. Do not use tap water for brushing your teeth or making ice either. Do not eat ice cream. Only eat well-cooked meat and fish, preferably served hot. Vegetables should be cooked and fruit peeled. If you follow these basic rules, you are likely to avoid any health issues like traveler’s diarrhea. Diphtheria, Hepatitis A, and Tetanus are recommended vaccinations for Turkmenistan. Ensure you are fully insured for medical emergencies including repatriation. Medical services in Turkmenistan are basic at best.

FAQs on Turkmenistan

How does communication work during my travel to Turkmenistan?

WIFI Hotels in cities above three stars provide free Wi-Fi access, however internet in Turkmenistan is very slow and access highly restricted.

In the case of emergency your friends/family can call us and we will pass their message to you. Please take note of the 24/7 emergency number indicated in your travel documents.

What language do people speak in Turkmenistan?

Turkmen is the official language of Turkmenistan and Russian is spoken in large cities. Turkmen language is similar to Kazakh, Uzbek and Kyrgyz and part of the Turkic family of languages.  All our guides speak English, but overall in Turkmenistan very few people understand or speak English.

Is it easy to get in contact with locals in Turkmenistan?

Local population is friendly and hospitable, especially in shops and restaurants they will ask where you come from etc. Your guide and driver will be knowledgeable locals who can answer all the questions and tell about everyday life in Turkmenistan. If you are interested in getting in touch with locals we recommend you to familiarize yourself with social dos and do nots as explained in our blog article .

What is the religion in Turkmenistan?

Turkmenistan is a secular state and population is predominantly Muslim. Religion is practiced but still quite moderate and fully controlled by the state to avoid any kind of extremism.

How do I need to dress in Turkmenistan?

In Turkmenistan, you will see bright colored national dresses on women and modern European style clothing mostly on men and men wearing suit. Feel free to wear same clothes that you would wear back home. It’s that simple.  Only exception to this rule concerns visits of religious buildings like Mosques or Churches. When visiting these places, you will need to wear long pants and women need to cover their shoulders and head with a veil.

Is it safe to drink tap water?

No, it is not and we recommend you to drink bottled water, use filter or boil it. Moreover, please do not use tap water for brushing teeth and order your drinks without ice.

Is there vegetarian food in Turkmenistan?

Central Asia is generally not an ideal place for vegetarians, however you can order side dish such as plain rice, mashed potatoes and in some places, even grilled vegetables. Most of the national dishes in cafes are made with meat, predominantly mutton. In guesthouses and yurt stays you need to talk to the guide so he can arrange something. In some cases, you can also alter some meals with quick noodles that can be bought in stores. More information of food in Central Asia you can find here.

Is there coffee in Turkmenistan?

Ashgabat has nice coffee where you can use wifi and get some snacks. Outside these places the best coffee you can get is an instant coffee, if you are coffee-lover we recommend taking little Italian coffee machine.

How much to tip?

In restaurants, service of 10-15% is usually included on the bill, however, this does not go directly to the waiter, he gets only his salary. Usually, the amount is rounded up and If you are very content with the service you can leave some tips. Our guides and drivers are paid well, but if you are happy with the services provided they will certainly appreciate a little tip.

What are toilets like in Turkmenistan?

Most of the hotels are clean and have western standard toilets with shower. In Turkmenistan tourists are required to stay in hotels, so there will be always nice facilities.

Will I be able to do my laundry?

The most expensive services for laundry is in hotels, since they charge 1-3$ per laundry item. Another option would be to wash couple of things by hand in hotel sink.

What happens in emergency situations during my trip?

Your safety is the first priority for Kalpak Travel, in organizing our trips we discuss every detail to make sure that your tour runs smoothly and you will have a wonderful experience with us. Our guides are well trained to deal with emergency situations and we will get you help as quickly as possible.

We just came back from a trip to Turkmenistan, which has been organized by Kalpak Travel. I can only say that I highly recommend booking your vacation with kalpak. The entire trip was perfectly organized: from planning the trip, tailoring it to our individual preferences, the communication before and during our trip. Also the tours, guides and hotels chosen were great.

We are an older couple in our 70's who enjoy unusual trips. I had wanted to see some of the Stans, so Luca arranged a trip for us. With our time constraint we could see three countries. Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan were the three. I was interested in sleeping in a yurt (which we did in Kyrgyzstan) and seeing the Gates of Hell in Turkmenistan. Wife wasn't wild about the yurt until she stayed there as it turned out to be very pleasant. The Gates of Hell was a little different - the fire-y cauldron was an unforgettable sight!! Really enjoyed it. My wife and I had a car and driver at each location. The drivers were very conscientious and friendly and the guides were excellent. I would certainly recommend Kalpak Travel if you are looking for a trip to Central Asia.

We were very lucky to have Kalpak Travel as our tour company which exceeded our expectations with flying colours. We highly recommend Kalpak Travel if you are planning a hassle-free tour of Central Asia.

I decided to go on some guided city tours in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. And what a good decision that was!

Travel to Turkmenistan – heart of the Great Silk Road

Being the heart of the Great Silk Road, Turkmenistan has unique nature, favourable climate, remarkable national values, distinctive customs and traditions, an abundance of historical and architectural monuments. Open-hearted and hospitable people live in the country, which can be called a paradise for tourists and those who strive for discoveries and new emotions.

Present-day Turkmenistan captivates guests and tourists with the developed city infrastructure. For example, the capital of the country, Ashgabat was included in the Guinness World Records.

Turkmenistan is one of the most ancient countries. Its territory had been an important part of the Great Silk Road and had been connecting the West and the East, Europe and Asia for centuries. This land is a hearth of the most ancient Eastern civilizations, which made a significant contribution to the development of world culture, and a vault of many unsolved secrets. In Turkmenistan, travellers can discover the legendary country of Margiana (Ancient Merv or Margush). Thanks to the international expedition led by the Russian archaeologist Viktor Sarianidi, Margiana was recognized the fifth centre of world civilization, along with the ancient Egypt, China, India and Mesopotamia. About 4000 years ago, there was an oasis in the Karakum Desert. Margiana prospered. The unparalleled findings on the excavations of its former capital, known as Gonur Depe, have become a global sensational scientific discovery. Margush is also the world's oldest home of the first religion – Zoroastrianism. This historical and cultural park of Turkmenistan, as well as Kunya-Urgench and the Parthian Fortresses of Nisa, is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The ancient settlements of the world's first farmers, including in Jeitun, Anau, Gara Depe, Namazga Depe, Altyn Depe, rock paintings in Bezegli Dere, primeval architectural complexes and buildings in Abiverd, Serahs, on the Amu Darya River banks, in the foothills of the Kopetdag Mountains, along the Uzboy Channel and in the Sarykamysh Lake delta, possess a lot of secrets for travellers to reveal. These are not all the cultural heritage sites of Turkmenistan.

The ancient Turkmen land abounds in historical and archaeological must-sees. The Turkmen people are proud of their rich history and culture, including in the magnificent Ahalteke horses, perfect carpets, jewellery and works of applied art.

Ahalteke horse

Ahalteke horse, which is represented on the State Emblem, is national treasure and one of the main symbols of the country. The legendary horses are fast as the wind, with a thin long neck and soft skin. It is the oldest breed. The Ahalteke horse is unique in beauty, speed and endurance. This breed gave birth to a number of other bloodlines, influencing the Arab and English breeds. In Turkmenistan, every tourist has to take a picture with the ‘heavenly’ horses, or even take a short horse ride.

Akhal-teke horse

Turkmen Carpet

Turkmen carpets are widely known outside the country – a real work of art that conquers with its magnificence. Possessing the heritage and the creative work of many generations, these masterpieces of the Turkmen carpet weavers amaze connoisseurs with the unique expressive means, ornamental beauty, harmony of colour combinations, and the highest quality. Travellers often buy a carpet as a souvenir from Turkmenistan. Some of them choose small carpets for the teacups, others purchase huge carpets to decorate their homes.

Turkmen Carpets

Territory & Nature

Turkmenistan’s vast territory is impressive – 488.100 km2 – the same as Italy, Austria, Belgium, and the Netherlands taken together. The northern and central parts of the country are dominated by the deserts of the Turan Lowland, including in the Central, Zaunguz and South-Eastern Karakum Desert, occupying over 80 per cent of the territory. Turkmenistan is bounded by the Caspian Sea to the west. The flora and fauna are rich and diverse and represented by numerous endemic species.

Clean air, healing water springs, unique nature with breath-taking landscapes and pristine unspoiled places attract the guests of the country. Turkmenistan has almost all terrestrial regions and natural sights, namely sea, desert, mountains, caves, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, underground springs, subtropical valleys and volcanoes. All this fascinates the most experienced travel lovers!

The local nature has endowed the Turkmen land with amber grapes, reflecting the warmth of the Turkmen sun. The Turkmen wines and cognacs, made from these grapes, are just perfect. The Turkmen melon, which has been appreciated by travellers for many centuries, is divinely delicious. Juicy fruits and vegetables are available in every corner of the country all year round.

Turkmenistan will make your travelling unforgettable! And your dreams about the most interesting and exciting experience will come true!

Turkmenistan Travel Seasons

Everyone faces a dilemma before a tourist trip: what is the best season to explore this amazing country?

Turkmenistan is notable for special abundance of light and warmth even among other Central Asian countries, which are rightly called ‘sunny’. Every square inch of land here receives twice as much heat during the year as in the countries of Central Europe. The geographic position of Turkmenistan, namely, the central part of the Eurasian continent, an area located far from moderating effect of oceans, is crucial for the local climate.

Thus, Turkmenistan has a desert, severely continental climate. Precipitation tends to be moderate, with a high rate of evaporation.

Obviously, the most favourable season is spring. It starts in March (in the mountains – in April). At this season, the weather can change not only during the day, but also during several hours. In March, the temperature reaches 20-25 °C in the afternoon. There are frequent showers, which contribute to the rapid growth of plants filling the air with their aromas. This is a fascinating season when apricot orchards captivate with sweet smell in a white-pink haze all over the country; almonds, peaches, and other horticultural crops are in bloom.

People who visit the Karakum Desert in spring can see the closest thing to heaven on earth. There are a zillion of plants awakened from hibernation from corner to corner, as far as the eye can see. The unforgettable dizzying scent of flowers that scattered the earth to the horizon will evoke in your heart an overwhelming desire to return to this land again. A long spell of dry weather starts in Turkmenistan in the late spring... Read more

HOW TO TRAVEL AROUND Turkmenistan?

Learn about the airlines and direct routes that connect turkmenistan to the rest of the world, is turkmenistan safe to travel, turkmenistan is the world’s safest country.

Travel safety most often becomes a major factor when choosing a tourist destination. In this context, Turkmenistan is beyond comparison. It is the world’s safest country! This fact was confirmed by the Gallup Inc., an analytics and advisory company, known for its public opinion polls conducted worldwide. In October 2020, the company published the Global Law and Order Index, which contains a list of the safest countries on the Earth.

In the Index, Turkmenistan shared the first place with Singapore; both countries scored 97 points out of 100. This index a composite score based on the incidence of theft and assault or mugging, and people's reported confidence in their local police, their feelings of personal safety in the past year. The higher the score, the higher the proportion of the population that reports feeling secure.

Moreover, to date, Turkmenistan has a zero level of terrorist threat. These results are based on the research by the Institute for Economics and Peace, headquartered in Sydney, Australia. Read more

Holidays and Festivals

Turkmen toy invites.

Your travel to Turkmenistan will become vivid and memorable if you attend a celebration (in Turkmen ‘toy’) dedicated to a national festive event. There are a lot of them in this hospitable and welcoming country.

One of the brightest and impressive festive events is Novruz, which is celebrated as the national spring festival in Turkmenistan on March 21-22. The main celebrations are traditionally held in the suburbs of Ashgabat in the foothills of the Kopetdag Mountains, on the Novruz yaylasy site with a building in the form of a huge yurt – Turkmenin ak oyi. Every year in March, a whole town, including in yurts, farmsteads, gardens, workshops, oriental bazaar, exhibition showrooms, stages for theatrical performances, bakhshis and other musicians, dancers and singers, is erected at the venue. The grandiose folklore and ethnographic performance demonstrates the art of carpet weaving, horse breeding, the traditions associated with animal husbandry, gardening, and agriculture. Ancient artefacts are presented in museum exhibitions here; and everyone can take part in the national games, see the best specimen of applied art, and sample delicious dishes that reflect fertility of the Turkmen land, prosperity of Turkmenistan, and hospitality of its people.

One of the oldest festive events in the world – Novruz is inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List.

Other national festive events are no less impressive, with the cultural programme complemented by solemn meetings, art exhibitions, scientific conferences and concerts.

The ‘heavenly’ horses, preservation and development of the ancient national equestrian traditions are cherished with special reverence in Turkmenistan. The Ahalteke horses represent national pride and great treasure, created by the Turkmen people over the centuries. Numerous exhibitions, concerts, various competitions, including in the International Ahalteke Horse Beauty Contest, are held on last Sunday in April. Ashgabat hosts the International Ahalteke Horse Breeding Association Conference on Turkmen Horse Day. Read more

Turkmen Traditions

A guest comes, happiness comes.

This is what the ancestors of the Turkmen people used to say. A guest was considered a sign of God. Any person who came to aul (a Turkmen village) was offered shelter and food in the first yurt he/she came across. The traveller couldn’t refuse and leave the house without having tasted a warm meal.

Hospitality is characteristic of all Central Asian peoples, and the Turkmen people have it as a code of honour. Hospitality has always had a special meaning and rules, which include the norms of behaviour while visiting and receiving guests, as well as table setting and preparation of festive treats.

Lofty principles of traditional behaviour, including in hospitality and respect for the elders, were fostered from early childhood. These principles were followed during the family meal, where the traditional place of honour (in Turkmen ‘tor’) – opposite the entrance and near the hearth was taken by the elder of the family. This place was given to a guest, as soon as he crossed the threshold. At the same time, children got up from their seats, greeting and expressing their respect to the guest.

A number of rituals and sacrificial offerings are associated with the birth of a child in the Turkmen family. Thus, the unleavened flat cakes called ‘bogursaks’ are cooked and dispensed among the neighbours as a sacrificial offering before childbirth. A sadaqa in honour of deceased ancestors is given for easy childbirth. On the birth of the child and the first placing in the cradle, the maternal grandmother bakes pishme (cookies). When the child has the first tooth erupted, the parents prepare a feast and invite their relatives and neighbours with children. On the same day, grandmother prepares a festive treat from corn, so that the child's teeth grow as white as cornflakes. The day of the child's first haircut is celebrated even more magnificently.

Turkmen Cuisine

Are you a foodie if you are, then you should visit turkmenistan.

Dishes of the Turkmen cuisine impress with the uniqueness, great taste and variety. Obviously, this cuisine is one of the most delicious in the world! Still do not believe? There is a reason to check it out.

Turkmen cuisine has hundreds of delicious recipes that can astonish even the most fastidious gourmets. The Turkmen people has formed the national cuisine over the centuries, combining the traditions of many neighbouring peoples, generously sharing rich experience and know-hows and exchanging the secrets of the culinary art. Nevertheless, the main thing is that the Turkmen cuisine has always been authentic – many ancient traditions are cherished nowadays.

To date, acquaintance with the local cuisine helps foreign tourists get to know the character of the Turkmen people, broaden their ideas about the local culture, and feel the ‘taste’ and ‘aroma’ of the traditions in Turkmenistan. Moreover, the traditions and recipes of the same dishes sometimes differ in the country’s regions.

For example, pilav is a hallmark of both the Central Asian, and the Turkmen cuisine. There are dozens of recipes, including in pilav with lamb, beef, camel meat, chicken, fish, raisins, or fruits.

There are a great number of recipes for barbecue or kebab. The list of fish dishes is huge. A distinctive feature of the Turkmen cuisine has always been richness and simplicity. Read more

Flora and Fauna

Travel to the land of leopard and red deer.

Turkmenistan is one of the world’s best places for travelling and discovering new and amazing unique areas for the connoisseurs of natural diversity. The Caspian Sea, the huge, striking and mysterious Karakum Desert, subtropical abundance in the Sumbar Valley, the dangerous Amu Darya River, the picturesque foothills of the Kopetdag Mountains and the secret corners of the Badhyz State Nature Reserve with its unique flora and fauna are combined in the country. Stunning and grandeur waterfalls, the mountain rivers filling the silence with their murmur, beautiful gorges, underground lakes, fabulous caves, a plateau of dinosaurs and the burning gas crater in the centre of the desert or the ‘shining of the Karakum Desert’ in Darvaza captivate travellers.

There are 9 state nature reserves and 16 wildlife preserves on the territory of Turkmenistan. Obviously, the unique nature of the country and its desert and semi-desert biologic systems are extremely vulnerable and depend on human concern. The diversity of the local flora and fauna is unmatched in the entire subcontinent. Over 3000 plant species, about 50 fish species and 279 animal species, as well as over 3 million hectares of forests are under protection.

The ancient Turkmen land is rich in the wild or cultivated plants and breeds of domestic animals. The ‘heavenly’ horses or the well-known Ahalteke horses, the Turkmen greyhound – tazy, the loyal companion of people – alabay, as well as grapes, pomegranates, and delicious Turkmen melons have enhanced the fame of Turkmenistan. Generously endowed by nature, this sunny land is rich in the endemic species of animals and plants. Read more
